If you have only a short time in Zurich — a layover, a few days or a weekend — this two-hour orientation walk is the perfect first impression. Stroll through the atmospheric lanes of the Old Town (Altstadt), pause at scenic riverside views and learn how Zurich grew from a medieval settlement into a modern, lively city. Your private guide will share engaging stories about local life, historical highlights and curious anecdotes — including why Giacomo Casanova found the area so compelling during his visits. The walk is flexible and can be tailored on the spot to match your interests, whether you prefer history, architecture, shopping tips or food and café recommendations. Expect a relaxed pace with plenty of chances to ask questions, take photographs and get practical advice about where to eat, what to see next and how to make the most of your time in Zurich.
