Question

take the train to Lucern to take the steamship to Rigi: Zurich is small, (well, Switzerland is small!) and the Swiss are known for their engineering. Enjoy it first hand by being timely to a morning train to get to Lucern, take the historic steamboat across the lake to Rigi, a small but beautiful mountain, and take a funicular (vertical train) for a spa day or a hike (or both!) complete with Swiss mountain cows (enjoy the sounds of their cowbells) and views that the Swiss love dearly. Eat lunch at one of the huts! A perfect day.

traditional food at zeughauskeller: it’s a 15th century building, the atmosphere is lively, it’s tucked into a side street by two beautiful old churches. So walk around nearby, and time your visit with a pleasant little walk to Sprüngli before or afterwards to stuff your bag with incredible Swiss chocolates.

outdoor beerhaus on the water: Rathaus by Quaibrücke was lovely. Picnic tables and outdoor seating while you enjoy sausages and beer. Proscht! 🍻

pavillon le corbusier: Walk along Zurichsee and stop for a small but immersive space about design great Le Corbusier. Lounge on the chairs. Draw at the table.
