It was a cold standing on the shores of the beautiful lake ,so we decided to take a boat ride for 1 and a 1/2 hour. The warmth inside was comforting and so was the steward who served us drinks.The boat touched many landing stops but we preferred to stay on the vessel and admire the scenery . We spotted... More

We had a trip to Zurich on 12th of March and it was lovely to be in such a coordinated, relaxed and natural city like Zurich. We sat by the lake, fed the ducks and geese in the lake and enjoy lazzy sunny day. If you ever go Zurich, do nothing but walk around the natural beauty, walk barefoot on... More

It was chilly when we walked along the street towards the lake. It's not hard to find. Got on the boat for the scenery trip. Food and drinks were very expensive (but this is Switzerland, I supposed). View was stunning. What a lovely lake! More

I visited Lake Zurich last week and had a wonderful time. Zurich sure know's how to make Christmas pictureseque with all the Lucy Lights, singing Christmas trees and street markets. If I can offer a tip to visiting this horribly expensive city, (even more expensive than my time living in Tokyo for 2 years) when you land get yourself a... More

Zürichsee as it is called in local german, has been my favorite spot during the weekends in the past few months. I would often take a walk on weekends to visit the lake, and enjoy the fresh breeze during summers. One of the must do activities on the lake are the lake cruises, my preference being a 1.5 hour short... More

I think Lake Zurich is lovely. Take a stroll, have your lunch there, maybe even a picnic. The boat cruises are fine as well, so long as it's kept short. I went for a medium round trip (2.5 hrs) and found it a tad bit too long. At times I wanted to be back on land. But the cuise just... More

Lovely lake. You can stroll along the banks, hire a bike (free; CHF 20 required) or even better go on a boat tour. More

We opted for a 4 hour cruise on Lake Zurich on a steam paddler. It was a beautiful trip, and people were able to get on and off at various stops (boats went past every 30 or 60 minutes). It was a wet day when we went so we stayed on the boat, but we had a great time. You... More
