Things to do when you get to Zürich

When you arrive in Zürich, the city will draw you in, inviting you to explore its charming streets. Here are just a few recommended things to do, no matter your interests:

Explore the magnificence of Grossmünster

Begin your trip in Zürich’s old town, at the monumental church known as the Grossmünster, which is a watchtower of architectural mastery and history. Its two towers pierce the sky with a Gothic charm that mutters stories of medieval grandeur. According to legend, Charlemagne found the graves of Zürich's patron saints here.

When is the best time to visit Zürich

Zürich dazzles year-round, but let's get in on how each season truly sparkles. Visit Zurich in summer (June to August) when Lake Zurich gleams under the sun, and festivals like Street Parade transform the city into an electrifying show.

Zürich in spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November) is when the city bursts into a kaleidoscope of colors when the weather is not too hot, not too cold. Spring brings brighter and longer days after winter. Lose yourself as you wander down streets like Bertastrasse, blossoms swirling in the breeze like confetti, or experience the traditional spring festival Sächsilüüte.

In autumn, picture yourself sipping espresso by the Limmat River, surrounded by autumn golden foliage, crisp air, and cozy cafés, like a painting sprung to life.

Winter morphs Zürich into a snow-globe wonderland; the Christmas markets brim with mulled wine and festive cheer.
