Things to do in Zurich

Museum-hop your way through the city

From art to football, there’s a Zürich museum for everything. Art lovers should make visiting the National Museum of Art – also known as Kunsthaus – a priority with a collection of works dating back to the 13th century, as well as the largest Edvard Munch collection outside Norway. As one of the best Zürich museums, Van Gogh, Mondrian and Monet are also represented in its galleries. The modular museum Pavillon Le Corbusier is an architecture buff’s dream and houses Swiss architect Le Corbusier’s art collection. Other museums include Beyer Clock and Watch Museum, packed with horological delights, while you’ll find the lads at FIFA World Football Museum.

Drift through Lake Zürich

Spanning nearly 90 square kilometres, Lake Zürich is one of Switzerland’s most popular sights ringed by pastoral towns, vineyards and upscale restaurants. In the summer, head to one of its lidos for a brisk swim in the glacial lake or stay dry with a picnic on its banks. The best way to experience the lake is by boat, as regular tours stop at many charming villages along the way. Steamboats dating back to 1835 are still in commission today, with the hardworking Stadt Zürich taking passengers on Zürich day trips to nearby Thalwil and even longer journeys to Ufenau island.

Be transported to medieval times

Zürich’s medieval spirit is very much still alive, with a Roman fort, imposing cathedrals and more. Zürich Old Town takes you back in time with sites like the Romanesque Grossmünster church which features two gigantic towers, and stunning views at the top of a 187-step trek up. Across the Limmat River, see Fraumünster’s stained glass windows by Marc Chagall and St. Peter’s Church’s huge clock face – the largest in Europe. For those visiting Lindenhof, see the hilltop ruins of a Roman fort.
