Zurich is a very walkable city, with most landmarks centered in a relatively small pedestrian-only area. The best way to explore it is on a walking tour, rather than a bus tour.

We find it more more interesting to join a guided walking tour, which will efficiently visit all the main highlights and landmarks in about 2 hours. This is particularly helpful if you have limited time in the city and want to see as much as possible.

Guided Tours

Here are a few guided tours we suggest:

• Zurich Tourism - 2 hour guided walking tour in English, usually daily 11:00 and 13:00 on Saturdays. Meet at Tourist Info Office at the Zürich HB station. You get a 50% discount with the Zurich Card. Most of their tours are at 11:00, but they also offer a 17:00 tour on Fridays and 13:00 tour on Sundays.

• Free Walk Zurich - 1.5h guided walking tour of Zürich city, usually at 11:00 meeting at Paradeplatz. You don’t have to sign up beforehand and you can tip what you want (we suggest CHF 5-10/person in your group). They also offer a variety of themed tours: chocolate, Zürich West (industry quarter), historical, pub crawl, etc. See tour options.

• Evening tour - While most tours are in the morning, Nachtwanderer offers a tour starting at 18:00. Great option if you only have an half-day in Zurich.
