Activities in Zurich

The Lake Zurich promenade stretches along both shores of the lake from the city centre, with swimming spots (Badi), parks, and Alpine views. The Bürkliplatz starting point offers boat cruise departures and lakeside benches.

Thermalbad & Spa Zürich is a rooftop thermal spa occupying a converted 19th-century brewery, with indoor pools, saunas, and a spectacular rooftop infinity pool overlooking the Old Town and the Alps.

Lake Zurich cruises by ZSG (Zürichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft) range from 1.5-hour round trips to full-day voyages calling at lakeside towns. The views of the Alps, vineyards, and shoreline villas are quintessential Swiss.
