Tour Plan

DAY 1 Arrival, Welcome to Zurich

Upon arrival at the airport make your own way to the hotel. Check in and spend the rest of the day at leisure. Overnight in Zurich.

DAY 2 Zurich

After breakfast, join the Best of Zurich City tour. See the castle-like National Museum, the shopping and business centre on Bahnhofstrasse, the Limmatquai with its medieval Old Town, the patriarchal Guild Houses, the Opera house and of course the lake (picture stop). Enjoy the great experience of travelling uphill on the cog-wheel railway (Dolderbahn) into the "Zürichberg" district. After a short introduction to the Old Town, the city tour will end here. Stay back in the Old Town to take in the atmosphere of the Christmas market. Zurich's oldest Christmas market is a tiny world of its own, located in the heart of the Niederdorf quarter of the Old Town. The numerous market stalls line the centrally located Niederdorfstrasse and spill onto Hirschenplatz and Rosenhof, so that it is easy to lose track of time when browsing through the multitude of wares on sale. A visit to the Christmas market in the Old Town during the Advent period is an absolute must. Zurich boasts several Christmas markets so don’t miss one at the main train station Hauptbahnhof and the one in front of the Opera House. All the Zurich Christmas markets are open from November 22nd to December 23rd. Nearby Rapperswil (Dec 14-23) and Einsiedeln (Dec 1-9) also have Christmas markets if you want to get out of town for a bit. Both places can be reached by train within one hour. Overnight in Zurich.

DAY 3 Zurich-Geneva

Today it’s time to move on to Geneva, in the French speaking part of Switzerland. Make your own way to the train station. Relax on the 3 hour train journey as it takes you through some amazing scenery. Once in Geneva your hotel is not far away. Spend the rest of the day exploring Geneva. Overnight in Geneva.

DAY 4 Geneva 

After breakfast, start exploring Geneva by joining a two hour city tour of Geneva. The tour will bring you to the International part of Geneva housing the United Nations. Discover the main tourist attractions of the city like the Jet d'Eau Fountain and the wonderful Flower clock. Explore the Old Town with your guide on a walking tour. Geneva has a Christmas market offering arts and crafts, handmade winter garments and specialty foods with an international twist on rue du Mont-Blanc. You’re bound to find knick-knacks from different parts of the globe. Go with a budget and expect to stay within it: inexpensive but beautiful crafts make great gifts to place under the tree.
