Active & outdoors in Zurich
Zürich offers a varied mix of outdoor activities within easy reach of the city centre. The Frauenbadi and Zürichhorn sit along the lakeshore, providing swimming and leisurely walks, while the Arboretum offers a calm green space beside the water. Wooded hillsides such as Zürichberg, Adlisberg, and Altberg are ideal for hiking and forest walks without leaving the city. Venturing further afield brings you to the Rhine Falls, the rolling landscape of Argovia Jurapark, and the historic remains of Alt-Wülflingen Castle. The river Sihl winds through the urban fabric, Letzigrund serves as a hub for city sport, and The Dolder Grand adds expansive outdoor grounds to the mix.
