Top Zürich Attractions You Can't Miss

Iconic Sights to Hidden Gems

Hike to Leistkamm (2,101 m) — 'In the footsteps of Heidi' day hike

Guided alpine hike to Leistkamm with expansive views; moderate, scenic terrain and photo stops. Lunch at a mountain hut or picnic on the ridge depending on conditions.

E‑bike rental & quick self-guided loop

Pick up e‑bikes and enjoy a relaxed 1.5–2 hour group ride: Bahnhofstrasse, lakefront, and cute lanes of Niederdorf — perfect playful exercise with photo stops.

Cogwheel Train Ascent to Rigi Kulm (approx. 30 min)

Scenic cogwheel journey through forest and alpine meadows up to Rigi Kulm (the summit). Enjoy expansive views without a steep walk.

Short, flat riverside stroll along Limmatquai and Münsterbrücke

A gentle paved walk by the river with plenty of benches and cafés nearby for a calm pause before evening plans.

Stroll through old town — Lindenhof & Bahnhofstrasse (guided walk)

Gentle, romantic walk through Lindenhof (historic hilltop square) and along Bahnhofstrasse — time for photos, chocolate treats and a short coffee stop.

Optional: Scenic detour to Lucerne — Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke)

If you'd like to add a short rail detour, take the direct train to Lucerne for a relaxed walk along Kapellbrücke and the lakeshore (adds ~2–3 hours).

Local Tips from the travel experts

Handpicked tips from top-rated activities in Zürich to help you make the most of your visit.

"Use this time to charge phones and pack a small picnic or a box of Sprüngli chocolates for the sunset.Bring a light blanket or shawl for Uetliberg; evening breezes can be cool even in June.If you booked a special dinner later on the mountain, confirm reservations now to avoid surprises."

Afternoon pause — relax and prepare for the evening

"Buffet-style ordering is great for groups: pick a few plates to share and everyone can taste multiple dishes.Book a table in advance for groups of 4+ especially on weekends to avoid long waits.Ask the staff for local favorites — they’re happy to recommend shareable combos that are crowd-pleasers."

Group Lunch at Hiltl — Iconic vegetarian & shareable plates

"Stroller-accessible paths but some cobblestones exist — use a stroller with good wheels for short distances.This is a quiet spot for a post-boat snack and a calm break; bring a small ball for free play on the lawn.Public toilets nearby at Rathaus; the hill is shady in June which helps with sun-sensitive children."

Lindenhof — calm viewpoint and gentle play space

"Order a 'Luxemburgerli' (small macaron) which is kid-sized; ask staff for nut-free advice if needed.Paradeplatz has a few bench spots; if stroller space is tight, carry small purchases to nearby benches in the square.Keep receipts — Sprüngli staff can re-wrap treats for travel if you plan to picnic later."

Sprüngli Paradeplatz — sweet treat break

"Ask for a room with a balcony or mountain view — sunsets over the Alphine ridgelines are unforgettable.Saas‑Fee is car‑free — request help with luggage transfer from the guide or hotel porter for a stress‑free arrival.Try a shared fondue or raclette in the evening for a cozy alpine dining experience (reserve a quiet table)."

Check in at Saas‑Fee (3‑star hotel) & short village stroll

"Accessibility: Access to Lindenhof from Bahnhofstrasse is a gentle, short slope; while parts are cobbled, there are smooth sections and benches close to the viewpoint.Seating & shelter: Plenty of seating for rest and a calm space to enjoy the view; in colder weather sit and take a warm drink from a nearby café.Navigation: Follow signs toward 'Lindenhof' or use the elevator-accessible routes via nearby streets if mobility is limited (ask a tram driver or station staff for the easiest stop)."

Lindenhof viewpoint — calm Old Town vantage point

"Ask for a table in a quieter corner to enjoy the art-lined interior without the bustle.Share a starter and a classic main course; the service is unhurried and perfect for conversation.Reserve ahead, especially for a weekend—it’s popular with locals and regulars."

Lunch at Restaurant Kronenhalle — art-filled dining

"If you bring a picnic, the outdoor tables are shaded in June; scout a table near the children's farm so kids can return easily.Café staff will often heat baby food — ask politely; they’re used to families.Keep nap time in mind — a light lunch helps younger kids settle for the afternoon rest."

Lunch at the Zoo (picnic or zoo café) — flexible for fussy eaters

"Niederdorf has compact streets; pick one pedestrian lane and move as a group rather than splitting up for easier regrouping.Stop at a street-side bar for a spritz or local beer — many places have high tables good for groups of 4–6.If anyone needs to freshen up before dinner, small public toilets and cafés with restrooms are scattered around the main pedestrian stretch."
