Zurich’s allure lies in its character, blending historic charm, modern luxury, and natural beauty. This global center for commerce overflows with renowned museums, exquisite Michelin-starred dining, and a lively social scene, set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Zurich. We’ve assembled five unique experiences that make Zurich unmissable!
1. Sunset Tour on Lake Zurich
Begin your exploration of Zurich with a luxurious private sunset cruise aboard a vintage boat on Lake Zurich. Admire the sunset as you take in the views of the surrounding mountains and cityscapes while sipping locally-produced wine. Dine on the shores of Lake Zurich and savor each bite amidst the enchanting setting. There is no better way to experience this city and all that it has to offer.
2. The Taste of Old Town
Embark on an excursion that combines the history of Zurich and its reputation for gastronomic excellence. Taste your way through the historic city center with authentic and exclusive food stops, led by your expert private guide. We’ll take you behind the scenes at Zurich’s most beloved Pâtissier and make a visit to a local sweet maker to sample macarons and other delights. Several other visits are best left as a surprise, but if time allows, we highly recommend a final stop at a secret wine bar that is otherwise undiscovered by visitors.
3. Curator-led visit to one of Europe’s Top Art Museums
Exeter travelers can enjoy a private tour of the renowned Zurich Kunsthaus, the largest art museum in Switzerland after the $223M extension designed by renowned architect David Chipperfield. Admire the stunning collection with an expert curator. From Renaissance to Contemporary art, view the works of local Swiss artists, while taking in the glory of original pieces of world-famous artists such as Van Gogh, Picasso, Kandinsky, and Monet. Our art-loving travelers rave about this experience.
4. Swiss Chocolate Heaven
Synonymous with Switzerland, the wide array of chocolate experiences are of course a fan-favorite amongst travelers. Every chocolate lover can experience the best of the best – from boutique tours and make-your-own signature chocolate lessons or a sophisticated artisanal tasting. We can take you to Lindt, where you will study the process of creating chocolate from sourcing cocoa beans all the way through to production. This is history, culture, and delicious sweets, wrapped up in an unforgettable package.
5. Cheese-Making Workshop
We couldn’t include chocolate without cheese. Enjoy exclusive hands-on cheese-making workshops located in the heart of Zurich where you can explore this time-honored craft and connection to place. Engage directly with a master cheese maker, absorbing their wealth of knowledge and expertise in the alchemy of transforming milk into cheese. You will not leave empty-handed, nor hungry. Complete your workshop with a cheese tasting, or opt for a sumptuous raclette meal at their onsite restaurant, completing this savory journey through Zurich’s culinary traditions.
