Zurich
Zurich is the largest city in Switzerland, spreading around Lake Zurich on both banks of the Limmat River, against the background of the snow-capped Alps. The treasury of Europe with the largest banks and the most powerful financial institutions in the world’s financial lobby, is at the same time an unhealthy and extroverted city. The city with European noblework impresses with its contradictions. The city’s museums bring together artistic treasures of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, as well as pioneering trends in design. Take a boat ride to the calm waters, go up on the retro tram and look out of the windows the most beautiful parts of the city. Serve in the picturesque streets of Niederdorf and hold clubbing in one of the five hundred bars of the extremely active Zurich night.

1st Day
Athens – Zurich – Rhine Falls – Zurich (tour)
Meeting at the airport and flight with Aegean Airlines or Swiss Airlines for Zurich. Arrival, and immediate departure for the spectacular Rhine Falls in the canton of Safhauzen, a magnificent sight of nature that impresses the visitor, as the water volume falls from above and forms a lake at its base, continuing its perpetual course towards its estuaries. Free time and return to Zurich, where during our tour we will see the famous Bahnhofstrasse avenue, we will walk to the central pedestrian streets of the old town, we will see (externally) the Fraumunster church with its impressive Chagall stained glasses, the Cathedral, the Town Hall, the Clock Tower, the Lindenhof hill, Limmat River bridges and other attractions. Transportation and accommodation to our central hotel within walking distance of Bahnhofstrasse. Overnight stay.2
2nd Day
Zurich – Lucerne – (optional excursion to Konstanz) – Zurich
Morning departure for the magnificent Lucerne, which is built on the shores of the lake of the four cantons. Arrival and tour of the well-preserved medieval center of the city, during which we will see, among others, the old City Hall, the characteristic picturesque wooden bridge, the Lion monument, etc. Return to Zurich and free time. We suggest you take part in an optional excursion to the city of Konstanz (individual expenses), which survived the bombings of World War II and is therefore kept intact. Optional Excursion Description: At noon we will depart for Konstanz, which is located at the western end of the lake of the same name which belongs to three states.

3rd Day
Zurich – With the Alpine Train in Saint Moritz
Our present day is long, full of dreamlike images. A very early wake up today so that we depart for the city of Chur. This is where the Rhaetian Railways Alpine Train (individual expense) waits for us for our ascension –through a magnificent route that crosses the alpine landscape of the Engadin valley with forests and lakes of incomparable beauty– at St. Moritz, the most famous and aristocratic resort in the Alps. Walk to this cosmopolitan resort, feel its glamor and wealth, enjoy the unique atmosphere next to the frozen lake St. Moritzsee. Don't forget! Return by train to Chur, where after our arrival we will board at the coach for Zurich. Late evening arrival. Overnight stay.4

Zurich – Interlaken Lakes – Bern
Morning departure for the popular and cosmopolitan tourist resort Interlaken, located between Thun and Brienz lakes, very close to Jungfrau's impressive and always snow-covered mountain range. We continue for the romantic capital of Switzerland, Bern, “the city of fountains”, built at a turning point of the Aare River. Arrival and tour of the city, during which we will see Parliament, the tower of the historic Clock, the imposing Cathedral and we will walk on the pedestrian streets with the medieval buildings. Return to Zurich. Overnight stay.5
5th Day
Zurich – Liechtenstein – Saint Gallen – Zurich
Morning departure for Vaduz, the capital of the Principality of Liechtenstein, the fourth smallest state in Europe (after the Vatican, Monaco and San Marino).
