About Zurich for Solo Travelers
Switzerland's financial capital on a pristine alpine lake — solo travelers swim in the lake steps from the Altstadt, explore world-class art museums, and use Zurich's impeccable rail connections to launch themselves into the Alps.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Zurich is expensive but extraordinarily solo-friendly — the Zurich Card covers all public transport and many museums, Lake Zurich swimming (free in summer from the Seebad) is one of Europe's most pleasant solo experiences, and the old town (Altstadt) is beautiful and walkable. The Kunsthaus Zurich (art museum, recently expanded) is world-class. Day trips to Lucerne, Interlaken, or the Rhine Falls are easy and rewarding solo rail adventures.
