Description

Discover Swiss traditions and gastronomy on a day trip from Zurich, combining nature, heritage and delicacies!

You'll start your day with a panoramic drive along Lake Zurich to Rapperswil, nicknamed the "City of Roses". Accompanied by your guide, you'll explore the medieval alleys of this charming town, and enjoy a view of the lake and castle.

Your excursion will continue towards Einsiedeln, one of Switzerland's most important pilgrimage sites. You'll visit its famous Benedictine abbey, a remarkable example of Baroque architecture, and discover the particularly venerated statue of the Black Madonna.

You'll then reach the Milchmanufaktur dairy-show, where a welcome drink will be served. Here, you'll discover the secrets of Swiss cheese-making and sample a number of local specialities. The onsite store offers a wide range of local products.

Late afternoon, you'll visit the Lindt Home of Chocolate in Kilchberg. You'll be greeted by the world's tallest freestanding chocolate fountain, before beginning an interactive tour with audio guide. You'll explore the history of chocolate, from bean to bar, and enjoy unlimited tastings. You'll finish with a visit to the world's largest Lindt boutique.

After this day rich in discovery, you'll be driven back to Zurich by comfortable coach.
