The Zurich Section

From Einsiedeln to Schaffhausen

One section of the Grand Tour of Switzerland leads through the canton of Zurich. The route between Einsiedeln and Schaffhausen along the picturesque Lake Zurich offers a host of sights and attractions.

It is well worth stopping to take a stroll over the wooden bridge between Rapperswil and Hurden, for example. Or to admire Sechseläutenplatz and the Opera House in downtown Zurich. Zurich’s famous churches, the Grossmünster and Fraumünster, are even more interesting close up. The Fotomuseum Winterthur in the former industrial town of Winterthur provides fascinating insights into photography, while the Kunsthaus enchants art lovers with the most important collection of modern art in Zurich.
