Why this trip

A jump into the lake, a visit to the elephant, an ice cream on the promenade: Zurich suits families who do not need a long journey and still want to experience a lot. From June to September the water is warm enough, and the city shows its relaxed side. Zurich Zoo is the place where children can spend a whole day without getting bored. The Lindenhof lies high up in the old town, with a place to play and a view over the roofs.

The Grossmünster has towers that school-age children can climb, and Paradeplatz is a meeting point for a stroll. Fountain water is available almost on every corner, a practical detail for thirsty children. Because Switzerland is home turf, flight and visa are not needed, and the distances stay short. That spares the nerves, especially with small children who need a nap.

Lucerne, Engelberg and Basel lie in the neighbourhood and suit day trips. If you want to stay overnight in the city, it is best to plan early. How you divide city days and excursions, you can discuss with Swiss Vibes in the video call.
