There are many great ways for tourists to properly explore attractions and sightsee in Zurich. Walking tours around the historic Old Town area (Altstadtbummel) within the Kreis 1 district are the perfect way to learn more about some of the best tourist attractions. Guided walking tours in Zurich are available in English and operate throughout the summer months, departing from the outside of the tourist office at the train station (Hauptbahnhof), alongside the Bahnhofstrasse.
Also popular is the Circle Tour, where tourists are transported around the city in a traditional trolley bus, passing many attractions and enjoying spectacular views across the surrounding towns, mountains and Lake Zurich. Or why not consider taking one of the frequent boat trips along the Limmat River, a meandering waterway spanned by a series of bridges, before ultimately reaching the lake itself.
