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 5,251 ReviewsVery nice!🥰😘💙❤️🇪🇸🇭🇷Andrea MarićWe recently traveled to Portugal and had the most wonderful experience. As our first venture overseas, we decided to search online for travel assistance. We happened across Goway Travel and are so glad we did!
Michael Keon, our Destination Specialist, is extremely proficient and knowledgeable in his profession. "Thorough" is an understatement. He assisted every step of the way from the moment we stepped on our flights, transfer arrangements, hotel accommodations, train travel and multiple tours/outings tailored to our specific needs/wish list.
He provided unparalleled guidance and support during the planning process and was always available to discuss any questions/concerns. His communications were always prompt and concise.
Without a doubt, our best trip to date...there will be no hesitation to contact Mr. Keon for future travels.

Joanna MaysWhat made this experience great was Cedric Wai. Had a client going to Asia and this is Cedric's wheelhouse since he is from there.
Everything was wonderful. Everything went smoothly. The individual tours were wonderful and all the guides were exceptional. A lot of traveling-the flight was very good on Cathay Pacific would highly recommend their airline seats were comfortable and spaced well. Being on an airplane for 16 hours sucks in general, but other than being a little sore from being stuck in one place all was good.
Thank you so much for all your help and the trip was wonderful and everything that it should be! Next trip will be much more relaxing, sitting still for a while on a beach somewhere ha ha!Careen SullivanAndrea Paredes helped me plan a last minute Colombia trip for my clients who had never been! They loved every minute of it. The hotels, history, excursions, and flights went very smooth. They were so happy with all their tour guides. Deanna Frisbie BorregoMy destination specialist, Katie Stephenson was amazing from the onset. Her customer service, communication style and planning skills was so timely and top notch.
Our trip was to Fiji, New Zealand and Australia, from Aug 4-22, 2026. The way she planned and booked the trip makes the experience convenient and enjoyable. The flexibility of payment makes the decision faster and attractive. Everything we need to know including contacts were readily available within our travel documents itinerary.
Overall, I'll say it's money well spent and a lifetime experience particularly for my kids.FestusI'm a new travel agent and used Goway to help plan a group trip to the UK. Ani, from Goway was so great! She was very detailed oriented, she had great communication and was very thorough in the planning. I felt confident that my clients would be taken care of. My clients had an amazing trip and loved all of it! SieKyeAthul Ajay was our travel agent and he was excellent from the beginning to the end of planning our trip. Great at communicating and replying back too. Sabrina GaffoglioIsabella Luu made the arrangements for our trip to Scotland and all aspects of the trip and stay were excellent. Our assistance at the airports were very good as all were alerted to our needs. Our ride services were excellent. Isabella was always available to answer any questions that we had in a knowledgable and prompt manner, which is always very important to me.Audrey HenryHad an excellent tour of Australia, thanks to our travel specialist Katie Stephenson. She was patient as we kept modifying our plans. Got support from Goway and Katie when there was a need to rebook a tour midway through, all handled easily by Goway.Ron PrestonWe went on a highly customized comprehensive (though quick tour) of England and a bit of Scotland through Goway. Ingrid Aird did an amazing job of planning and arranging every detail with her deep experience, insight, thoughtfulness and creativity, tuning into the needs of each traveler; and she did so even though our decision to travel was rather spontaneous and last minute! Our family had the best time! We look forward to working with Ingrid and Goway again!Vilja Breiling
