You’re in town for only two days? Too short, of course! But here is our Zurich-in-48-hours itinerary.
Day 1
On your first day, start with a stroll through the old town, an absolute must for every Zurich visitor. The one-hour stroll in our free printed guidebook for instance will take you to all the main sights like the mediaeval Lindenhof Square as well as the churches St. Peter, Grossmünster and Fraumünster. But before you set off, consider buying a Zürich Card, which includes all public transport as well as free entry to many attractions (you can buy it here in advance).
To get back to Bellevue, take the ship (ship stop Casino to Bürkliplatz). There it’s time for a Zurich-style lunch: have the city’s most famous bratwurst (veal sausage) at Sternen Grill. Now how about some culture? The Kunsthaus with its excellent collection of modern art is a good choice.
Day 2
On your second day make sure you get a good breakfast, because now you’ll have to climb a mountain. Or at least ride up it. Take the S10 train from the main station to Uetliberg, Zurich’s own little mountain. Up on top, walk to the peak (10 minutes) and climb the lookout tower for an incredible view towards the Alps and the city. You can get back the same way or hike down to a halfway train stop - or let your feet take you all the way down.
