Zurich

Old Town (Altstadt)
Wander through Zurich’s charming medieval Old Town, with narrow streets, cobbled alleys, and historic buildings.

Lake Zurich
Enjoy a peaceful stroll along Lake Zurich, rent a boat, or take a scenic cruise to soak in views of the surrounding Alps.

Bahnhofstrasse
Shop at Bahnhofstrasse, one of the world’s most exclusive shopping streets.
As Switzerland’s financial heart, it’s all suits and serious money during the week. But don’t be fooled – this place knows how to party. Come Friday, the city transforms into a playground of sophistication and style.
You have to experience Zurich for yourself to really get it. You will love strolling through the Old Town, cobblestones crunching under your feet, the air thick with the scent of freshly baked bread. It’s like stepping back in time, surrounded by buildings that have seen centuries of history. Churches like Grossmünster and Fraumünster are like the city’s grand old dames, their spires pointing to the heavens.
Now, let’s talk about Lake Zurich. This isn’t just any lake; it’s more like a sparkling sapphire dropped into the city. Imagine cruising on its calm waters, the wind in your hair, and the Swiss Alps as your backdrop. It’s the kind of thing you dream about on a stressful Monday.
And then there’s Bahnhofstrasse. And, Oh – it’s more than just an average shopping street. It’s like Rodeo Drive and Fifth Avenue had a love child. Every luxury brand you can think of has a store here. It’s a shopaholic’s paradise, but even if you’re not into splurging, it’s still a sight to behold.
You can’t leave Zurich without indulging your sweet tooth. Sprüngli, a local confectionery, is like Willy Wonka’s grown-up cousin. Their chocolate is the stuff dreams are made of. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you.
To truly understand the soul of Switzerland, you need to dive into its history. The Swiss National Museum is your go-to spot. It’s like a time machine, taking you through centuries of Swiss life. You’ll come out the other side with a whole new appreciation for this incredible country.
In short, Zurich is one of the most heart warming destinations and must be on your Switzerland tour! You’ll love every bit of it.

Mikaila from The Travel Byrds put together a fantastic trip for us to Vancouver. Everything was arranged to fit our preferences including experiences I would never have known how to navigate myself.

We used CeCe as our travel advisor for our European trip, and she was amazing! She was able to work with a very tight deadline, listened to all of the things we asked for, and executed the trip perfectly. It was exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommend her services for anyone looking to plan a trip!Posted on Google Loida MartinezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Christina Gaspari and The Travel Byrds! She made sure to ask plenty of questions at the beginning, kept in touch while planning to make sure the things she was going to book for us were what we wanted, and made sure we had all info we might need and more before our trip. The trip itself was incredible thanks to her! Not having to worry about anything and having a full itinerary ready full of amazing experiences and even relax time accounted for was wonderful! She really put in so much work for our trip which was to multiple countries! Thanks Christina! <3Posted on Google Steven AlsipTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have traveled with Travel Byrds 5 times and we love their service, last trip to Costa Rica was amazing. Our every concern was addressed/ all needs were met. Our agent's advice and expertise are much appreciated and we will not travel again without them!Posted on Google Stephanie FitzgeraldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paige planned my week-long trip to Greece. From my very first call with her to discuss my vacation “must-haves”, I was impressed with both her knowledge and her enthusiasm. She listened to my wants, made suggestions based on our discussion and then perfectly planned my trip… from the islands we visited to the hotels to the excursions. As my trip got closer, she brought in another team member to do any final bookings and modifications. It was so reassuring to know that she and her team had everything covered. I worried about NOTHING. I cannot recommend her enough.Posted on Google Alexa johnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could give Sylvie more than 5 stars, I would! Planning our honeymoon to Paros, Greece and Rome and Florence, Italy felt a little overwhelming at first, but Sylvie made the entire process so easy and stress-free. She truly thought of every single detail, and I honestly couldn’t have dreamed up a better trip or a more perfect way to start our marriage. Every hotel, transfer, flight, and excursion was seamless. On top of that, the travel app she created for us was incredible. It had every piece of information we could possibly need all in one place, so even traveling somewhere completely new felt easy and organized. We never had to wonder what was next or worry about missing anything because she had already thought of it. Not only is Sylvie incredibly organized and knowledgeable, but she genuinely cares about creating an unforgettable experience for her clients. Our honeymoon exceeded every expectation, and we made memories we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives. I cannot recommend Sylvie enough. If you’re thinking about booking a trip, do yourself a favor and let her handle it. It was hands down one of the best decisions we made, and we’re already looking forward to planning our next adventure with her!Posted on Google Todd BrydgesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our trip to the Rockies and National Parks was the second adventure Sylvie planned for us, and once again she knocked it out of the PARK! :) Her recommendations and family excursions were spot-on and perfectly matched our interests and family dynamic. She handled all the details, taking the stress and anxiety out of the planning process. We highly recommend reaching out to Sylvie for your next trip—she’ll make sure you have an amazing experience.
