Walk Zurich's Old Town, cruise Lake Zurich and spend as much time as you like tasting chocolate at the LINDT Home of Chocolate. This small-group, all-inclusive afternoon pairs city history, a scenic ferry ride, and unlimited chocolate sampling.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Stand on the riverfront where the Limmat pushes toward Lake Zurich and feel the city pull you along — cobbled alleys to your left, the city's low hills to the right, and the promise of chocolate smoke in the air. The small-group itinerary strings together a brisk Old Town walking tour, a one-hour hourglass of a cruise across Lake Zurich, a short funicular hop to a panoramic terrace, then the LINDT Home of Chocolate in Kilchberg for an audio-led visit and unlimited tasting.
