Zurich is a very walkable city, with most landmarks centered in a relatively small area, mostly car-free. So the best way to explore it is on a walking tour.
If you have limited time and want to see as much as possible, we suggest a guided walking tour, which will efficiently visit all the main highlights and landmarks in 2 hours.
