Description

Explore Zurich from different angles on this unique tour that brings together all of the city’s iconic ways of getting around. Whether you’re climbing a hill by cogwheel train, overlooking the city, riding a historic funicular to the university campus, or cruising across the lake by boat, this experience blends secret perspectives of Zurich with its classic sightseeing highlights. Optional short hikes make the journey even more rewarding — for instance, along the forested Zürichberg ridge or on an adventurous descent from the Uetliberg. Designed to showcase Zurich’s unique means of transportation while enjoying breathtaking views from surrounding mountains, it also reveals the city’s vibrant squares, historical landmarks, and local customs — enriched by my academic background in geography, natural sciences, and over 17 years of experience as a high-school geography teacher. Join me as we venture through both renowned and hidden corners of my hometown for an unforgettable experience.
