Days Details
1 Zurich, sightseeing and attractions Zurich is much more than a banking capital. From impressive churches to awesome art collections, the city has much to offer culture vultures. The Great Church is a 12thcentury structure with 18th-century updates – the core spans the Carolingian to Gothic styles with one modern touch – Giacometti’s stained-glass window. The Stiftung Sammiung E.G Buhrie has a stunning array of Manets, Monets, and more (appointments only). And Zurich is a shopper’s paradise – walk along the Bahnhofstrasse for high-end boutiques, or head for Niederdorf for the more trendy shops.

Take the adventure path with elevator from Laufen Castle to the outlook platforms and see an unobstructed view of this spectacle of nature. A boat ride to the Rhine Falls basin, the rocks in the middle of the Rhine, and that also travels further down to the Rheinau power plant, is not to be missed. If you’re feeling active, enjoy the Adventure Park at Rhine Falls with one of the most spectacular rope parks in Europe.
