The Limmat River Cruises is one of the most unique ways to explore Zurich’s Old Town, the River Limmat, and Lake Zurich. The cruises only operate from April to October and each tour lasts around an hour. During that time, visitors can see views of the National Museum, the Zurichhorn, and other historical sites that can’t be seen from the land.
The river cruise offers some great photo opportunities as well; other sites that can be seen from the cruise ship include Zurich’s town hall, the Lindenhof, and Grossmünster Church. The ships have glass roofs and panoramic windows so that visitors can get the best view of the beauty that surrounds them.
