We will have a short time (2 days) to spend in Zurich next April, before boarding our river cruise. What's on your 'must see' list? TIA
If you like art museums, the Kunsthaus is wonderful.
"Thank you"...would we need to get tix ahead of time?
2 days? or 2 nights? The best thing about Zurich is that it's only 55 minutes by train from Lucerne - a beautiful city with with a medieval city center on the River Ruess. I would spend all of my time in Lucerne.
Mtswem, you do not need to buy tickets in advance. In fact, part of the appeal of this museum (besides the great collection) is that there so few other visitors.
Along Tim's line, there is no law that says that just because your plane lands in Zurich, you have to stay there. Switzerland has lots of other more desirable locations to spend a couple of days in than an expensive city. And they are very easy to get to from the airport train station.
