First visit
Connect the city and the lake
A combined tour links city sightseeing, an Old Town walk, a short cruise and the Lindt exhibition. Allow a generous half-day and check the departure point near the main station.

Zürich.
Lakeside views. A chocolate detour.
Begin with Zürich’s Old Town and the Limmat, then decide whether to add a lake journey and Lindt Home of Chocolate in nearby Kilchberg. Choose one main itinerary and give the rest of the day room to breathe.

Plan the sequence
Zürich in one or two days
Choose between a combined city day and a focused chocolate-museum outing before filling the rest of your itinerary.
Independent plan
Keep your museum visit focused
Arrange a timed museum appointment in Kilchberg and transport there, then leave the city walk flexible. The exhibition, a chocolate-making course and the shop are different parts of the visit.
Winter plan
Use the interiors as your anchor
Reserve the museum first and keep lake-side walking flexible around weather and daylight. Check maintenance and holiday closures before fixing your travel plans.

Lindt Home of Chocolate
A good choice for chocolate history and tasting. The city-and-cruise package suits a first Zürich visit; an independent museum appointment gives you more control over the pace.
Allow: 60–90 minutes in the museum; around six hours including arrival for the city package
