It’s no surprise Zürich teems with outdoor and wellness experiences. Clear your mind on a solitary hike up Uetliberg mountain, or take part in some private sunrise yoga at Seebad Enge on the waters of Lake Zurich. For a spa day, indulge in lush treatments at one of the city’s many luxury spas such as the iconic Dolder Grand Spa.

From wandering through alleyways in Old Town or strolling along the promenade to Zurichhorn park or browsing boutique storefronts on Bahnhofstrasse, you’ll quickly reach your daily step goal. But if you do wish to get around other than walking, the city boasts a world-class public transport system known for its punctuality. There are trams, buses and trains, so you can navigate the city with ease.
