  • See the highlights of Zurich city
  • Take a cable-car ride to Felsenegg and enjoy the scenery

Make your Swiss excursion memorable with a tour of the highlights of Zurich and a cable-car ride to the picturesque Felsenegg. Appreciate the architecture of Grossmunster, a splendid Romanesque-gothic cathedral. Drive past Bahnhofstrasse and enjoy views of bare trees lining the grand facades – an elegant blend of historic and modern architecture.

Board a cable-car and travel from Adliswil to Felsenegg for a breathtaking view over Zurich, its lake and the white peaks of the Alps. This cable-car ride is a fascinating one, as you will pass over a landscape of snow draped alpine forest. Felsenegg, a paradise for hikers, is the most attractive sightseeing point on the Albis hills, with a restaurant and a big terrace.

Itinerary

You have the option to get picked up in an air-conditioned coach from the Zurich Airport (Meeting point: 1st floor, between terminal 1 and 2) or start the tour from the bus parking near Zurich Main Train Station (Stop: Sihlquai, Streetcar: 4, 13). Accompanied by a multi-lingual guide speaking English, Spanish and German, you will be taken on a city tour of Zurich.

You will be shown the main sites of Zurich including the Old Town, St. Peter’s Church - the largest church clock-face in Europe, the world-famous Bahnhofstrasse (station street), one of the world’s most expensive and exclusive shopping avenues. Visit the popular shopping street of Limmatquai and you will come across elegant old-guild houses. Make a photo stop at the harbour and enjoy incredible views of Lake Zurich, the city and surrounding hills. Further on, proceed to the Zurichberg District and visit Grossmunster, a magnificent Romanesque-gothic cathedral, with a high Romanesque cloister (Winter only). Take a short walk through the Old Town and pass through old-guild houses. Visit the Fraumunster Church, founded in 853 AD by King Louis the German. The church was largely patronized by the kings and had the right to mint coins in Zurich until the 13th century. Appreciate its stunning stained glass windows by renowned French painter, Marc Chagall.

Continue to Adliswil for a 5-minute cable car ride to Felsenegg (800 metres), where you can enjoy beautiful views over Zurich. You will be served Gluhwein (hot wine with spices), Christmas cookies and salty snacks, on the viewpoint Felsenegg (only on 01 Jan and 25 Dec). After the cable-car ride, cross lake Zurich by ferry-boat and drive back to Zurich along the Golden Coast.
