5 days in Zurich Itinerary

Old Town and Bahnhofstrasse are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Take a break from the city and head to Mt Pilatus and Grindelwald-First. Change things up with these side-trips from Zurich: Lucerne (Altstadt Luzern, Museum Rosengart Collection, &more), Bern (Einstein House (Einsteinhaus) & UNESCO-Altstadt von Bern) and Parasailing & Paragliding (in Interlaken). There's still lots to do: admire the masterpieces at Kunsthaus Zurich, contemplate the waterfront views at Lake Zurich, enjoy the sand and surf at Seebad Mit Strand Am Vierwaldstattersee, and stroll through Seebad Eich.
