In March, many museums show excellent exhibitions. Visitors who prefer to be outside in the fresh air can book one of the many different city tours, visit Zurich’s main tourist attractions, or browse through one of the weekly markets selling fresh produce from the region.

What to Do in April

The tradition-steeped spring festival, “Sechseläuten”, takes place in April. Flowers, sunshine, and outdoor activities characterize the cityscape. At the same time, the Lake Zurich Navigation Company kicks off its summer season with round trips to Rapperswil, the Town of Roses.
