Description
Your unforgettable journey begins with a convenient pickup from your Zurich accommodation in a comfortable private vehicle. The adventure starts with a scenic drive to Rapperswil Castle (Schloss Rapperswil), a beautiful medieval fortress overlooking Lake Zurich. Stroll through the charming old town of Rapperswil, known as the “Town of Roses,” and explore the castle’s historic courtyards, museum, and terraces offering panoramic views of the lake and the distant Alpine peaks. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and take time to capture the picturesque beauty of this lakeside gem.
Next, travel across the Swiss border to Meersburg Castle (Burg Meersburg) in Germany. This historic hilltop fortress is one of the oldest inhabited castles in Europe. Step back in time as you explore the well-preserved medieval rooms, towers, and courtyards. From the castle’s vantage point, enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding vineyards that add to the region’s charm.
From Meersburg, head southeast to Liechtenstein, one of the world’s smallest yet most enchanting countries. Upon arrival in Vaduz, the capital, enjoy time at your leisure to explore the quaint streets lined with boutique shops and cozy cafés. Don’t miss the hilltop Vaduz Castle, home to the royal family, which offers sweeping views of the city and valley below. You can also get your passport stamped as a unique and fun souvenir of your visit.
Continue east into Austria and arrive in the picturesque lakeside town of Bregenz, nestled at the foot of the Alps. Stroll the serene promenade, admire the modern architecture of the Bregenz Art Museum, or simply relax while taking in the alpine beauty that surrounds the town.
From Bregenz, cross into Germany and arrive in Lindau, a historic island town. Explore its medieval old town with narrow cobblestone streets, charming squares, and traditional Bavarian architecture. At the harbor entrance, admire the striking Bavarian Lion sculpture and the Lindau Lighthouse, both of which offer stunning views of the surrounding alpine landscape.
As the day winds down, enjoy a scenic drive back through Switzerland’s tranquil countryside, passing rolling hills, pristine lakes, and postcard-worthy villages. At the end of your enriching journey, you'll be comfortably returned to your Zurich accommodation—carrying with you unforgettable memories of exploring four countries in one incredible day and experiencing the cultural and natural splendor of Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and Liechtenstein.
