Overview
Take a trip to Zurich on your Switzerland Vacation
Nestled along the northern edge of Lake Zurich in the north-central region of Switzerland, Zurich is the country's largest city. Beyond its reputation as one of the globe's premier financial centres, Zurich is a living testament to history and cultural diversity, exemplified by its diverse array of museums. The Swiss National Museum, dedicated to Swiss cultural history, and the Kunsthaus Zurich, renowned for its European art collection, both showcase an impressive array of Swiss and international contemporary art.
The Limmat River will guide you through Zurich's vibrant streets, revealing a rich history evidenced by more than 50 museums and over 100 art galleries. Discover the twisting lanes through the medieval houses, guild halls, and Renaissance-era town halls, each telling the stories of Altstadt, Zurich's Old Town.
Walk through settlements tracing back to pre-Roman times in the Lindenhof District, Zurich's oldest. Enjoy dramatic views of Zurich's antiquity atop the Lindenhof Hill's Roman-era castle. This hilltop area is a mosaic of prehistoric, Roman, and medieval remnants holding the esteemed status of a Swiss heritage site of national significance. Traverse Zurich's historical districts, churches and old buildings and listen to the countless stories of Zurich's past, seamlessly integrated with the modern luxury of Bahnhofstrasse, home to some of the world's most exclusive stores.

What do the experts say?
To make your trip that little bit more special, Goway can upgrade Swiss Travel Passes just for a day so guests can experience the panoramic trains in a higher class of service without paying the increase for their entire trip
Winter and Summer are the best time to visit. Winter provides arguably the best scenic pictures, world-class skiing, and unique winter experiences. Summer provides some of the best hiking, and comfortable summer temperatures for touring.
If you are looking for somewhere off the beaten track, then make sure you visit Bachalpsee. This stunning mountain lake located in the Bernese Oberland is one of the most picturesque locations in Switzerland
Switzerland experiences four distinct seasons, with generally mild summers and cold, snowy winters, but be prepared for unpredictable weather, especially in the mountains, where conditions can change rapidly.
Switzerland is a multilingual country, with four official languages: German, French, Italian, and Romansh.

ExcellentBased on 5,294 ReviewsMy wife and I have just returned from our 5th trip with Goway. Once again everything ran smoothly from first day to last. This trip was the 9 day all Ireland tour which covered both north & south Ireland. The tour was operated by Rabbies tours whom we used in Scotland and the 16 passenger van only had 6 passengers including us.Other than a couple of days the weather was prety good although the wind did get a bit wild. The pub food was delicious & i got a taste for real Guiness. We spent a few extra days in Dublin and found it very expensive, the excange rate didn't help. Our travel consultant Jaqueline personalised the trip and was very helpful. George CroomeWe were able to see the perfect amount of sites during our nearly 3 weeks in Australia. Sam Day was extremely knowledgable about every step of the travel process. He was incredibly patient with all the demand my wife and me had. We really look forward to using his services again.Alan RosenbergMy husband and I booked a tour to Portugal using Goway travel. Working with Phoebe was a pleasure. She responded promptly and professionally to all of my requests, concerns and queries. Our trip was filled with lovely details and unexpected treasures.Kristen RemsenMy trip to China was a wonderful experience, and everything was planned very well. The itinerary was well organized by Ms. Harpreet Litt. The arrangements were smooth, and the overall trip was enjoyable.
I appreciated the attention to detail and the excellent coordination throughout the journey. It was a memorable experience, and I would highly recommend this trip to anyone planning to visit China!edytaHarpreet Litt provided us with a rich experience for our week. She offered good choices for local tour companies. We had a very good guide in Osaka. She is an Osaka resident with good English skills. She took extra pains to include opportunities we requested Osaka was a beautiful city at night. My photos of restaurants and street food were colorful and fun. Food was good too.Noel ChrismanI had a fantastic experience working with Lisa D. on the Goway team. She was helpful, attentive and made sure we were comfortable with our bookings and itinerary before departure, and also checked in with us following our trip. Would definitely book with Goway again!Mandi S.1186952 trip reference - Croatia and Montenegro.
Dear Goway Travel Team!
I wanted to reach out and share some well-deserved praise for Jacqueline, who has assisted me closely with several of my travels. She recently curated a trip for me to Croatia, the beautiful islands, and Montenegro, and it was an absolute home run.
Jacqueline has an incredible ability to listen to her clients' needs and translate them perfectly into a flawless itinerary. Her articulation, guideline execution, and professionalism are unmatched. What sets her apart is her forward-thinking approach—she always knows the exact hotspots and trends, ensuring the pace of the trip matches my speed perfectly.
Everything transitioned seamlessly thanks to her attention to detail and care. She is a massive asset to your organization, and her consideration makes every vacation stress-free. I will absolutely continue to use her for all my future travels.
Kindest regards,
Vince Sacco Vince SaccoAbsolutely incredible trip! From beginning to end! All accommodations were excellent. If you want to experience Safaris this trip will fulfill all your expectations! A special thanks to our driver we had for our entire trip Evans! He made our trip over the top! The Hot air balloon ride in the Masai Mara is a must…it’s breathtaking!Pam SeitzI have worked with Goway several times in the past two years and every single trip has been unforgettable. Specifically, our travel advisor, Maria, has helped us book phenomenal trips to Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and most recently, Iceland. Maria is so wonderful and easy to talk to, but what really stands out is her ability to get to know her clients so she can plan trips that perfectly align with our interests and desires. I cannot recommend her strongly enough! Her expertise, hard-work, and dedication towards each trip has given myself, my family, and friends memories to last a lifetime! Kayla CovelloJamil made our 40th birthday trip to Portugal so so very amazing and special! Great service, fabulous hotels, and wonderful day trips! Lane Strickland
