Not seeing your perfect trip? Build your own!

Culturally vibrant, efficiently run and attractively set at the meeting of river and lake, Zürich is regularly recognised as one of the world's most liveable cities. Long known as a savvy, hard-working financial centre, Switzerland's largest and wealthiest metropolis has also emerged in the 21st century as one of Central Europe's hippest destinations, with an artsy, post-industrial edge that is epitomised in its exuberant summer Street Parade.

Young travelers find Zurich sophisticated and spotless but also notice it’s quite pricey. They do love the mix of historical district, vibrant nightlife, and immediate access to Swiss nature. Voyista’s experience in the city ensures we direct you to local festivals, scenic lake cruises, and easy train hops to Lucerne or Bern. This city can be your Swiss gateway, and we make sure each step is cost-efficient without losing the urban charm.
