A cool breeze off Lake Zurich meets cobbled streets as the city wakes — tram bells click, church towers cut the sky, and the guide folds a paper map over an itinerary. Day one moves at a city-pace: a guided walk through Altstadt (Grossmünster and Fraumünster), a one-hour cruise on Lake Zurich with Alpine silhouettes on the horizon, then museum stops for Swiss cultural context.
