Water is a big feature of Zurich city, as it sits on the north end of Lake Zurich and the Limmatt river cuts directly through the old town. So doing a boat cruise is a great way to see some of the city and environs.

The “Short Lake Cruise” is is a good choice if you want to spend more time on the water or want a break from walking. It's a 90 min loop around the north end of Lake Zurich. You can hop on & off the boat at any of the stops.

We suggest combining this with a visit to the Lindt Home of Chocolate, which is at the Kilchberg ZH stop. Then get back on the boat and continue the cruise back to Zurich.

You don't have to book ahead. Just check the schedule on zsg.ch and get a ticket at the dock.

Free with Zürich Card.

There are also many dining cruises, like the Brunch Cruise, which runs on Sundays, and Cheese Fondue Cruise, which runs in fall and winter. You need to book ahead for these special cruises.
