First Off... Avoid Driving in Zurich

While renting a car and driving around the city may be tempting, the last thing you want is to turn up late to your meeting. 

Because of Zurich’s frequent traffic jams and limited parking spaces, most travellers (and even the residents themselves) recommend against driving. So, to avoid unnecessary stress and ensure you’re never late for your booking, rely on the city’s efficient transport options instead (which just so happens to be one of the main reasons why Zurich is the perfect home for escorts). 

Whether you’re heading to a luxury hotel or an upscale restaurant on the other side of town, here’s how to make the most of Zurich’s public transport system.

 

Buy a Zurich Card

Already got your whole day planned out with a VIP escort? For clients planning to explore Zurich extensively and reach the best venues, the Zurich Card is a must-have.

This all-in-one travel pass grants unlimited access to 2nd class travel on all forms of public transportation. This includes trams, buses, trains, boats, and even cable cars within the city.

Travel by Tram

Trams are the backbone of Zurich's public transport system and one of the most popular ways to travel across the city.

With 15 tram lines crisscrossing Zurich and operating from early morning until midnight, trams are frequent, clean, and easy to navigate.

  • How to Buy Tickets: Tickets can be purchased from ticket machines at tram stops, SBB ticket counters, or online via the SBB Mobile app. 
  • How Much Do They Cost: Single tickets for 1–2 zones cost CHF 4.40.
  • Frequency: Trams typically run every 7–15 minutes.
  • Ticket Types: Choose from single-ride tickets, day passes, or the convenient Zürich Card for unlimited travel.

Also, don't forget to validate your ticket before boarding to avoid fines!

Popular tram-accessible destinations: Zurich Old Town, Bahnhofstrasse shopping street (home to our escorts' top luxury stores), and the Zurich Opera House.

 

Travel by Bus or Train

Zurich’s bus network complements the trams, reaching areas they don’t cover. Buses operate with similar frequency and hours, ensuring smooth connectivity throughout the city.

  • Frequency: Buses operate on regular schedules, ensuring minimal wait times.
  • Popular Routes: Buses to the Zurich Zoo or Uetliberg Mountain are quick and scenic.
  • Ticketing: Bus tickets are integrated with trams and trains, costing CHF 4.40 for 1–2 zones.
  • Comfort: Modern buses ensure a pleasant ride, even during peak hours.

Trains, on the other hand, are perfect for travelling to Zurich Airport or nearby cities like Winterthur and Zug. The S-Bahn trains are perfect for longer journeys, connecting Zurich to its suburbs and beyond. For instance, Zurich Hauptbahnhof to Zurich Airport takes just 10 minutes.

  • Ticket Price: CHF 6.80 for a single ride from the airport to the city centre.
  • Frequency: Trains run every 5–10 minutes, ensuring you’re never waiting long.
  • Comfort: Spacious seating and clean carriages make the journey enjoyable.
  • Long Distance Travel: Use trains to visit nearby attractions like Winterthur, Zug, or Rhine Falls for a day trip.

 

Travel by Boat & Ferry

Looking to really impress your escort while taking in the city's natural beauty? Experience Zurich from a unique perspective by cruising on Lake Zurich. Boats and ferries operate year-round, offering scenic journeys perfect for unwinding before or after your date.

  • Key Routes: Short ferry rides across the lake or longer cruises that showcase Zurich’s stunning waterfront.
  • Inclusions: Both the Short Round Trip on Lake Zurich and the River Limmat Cruise are free with the Zürich Card.
  • Duration: A short lake cruise lasts about 1.5 hours.

 

Walking & Alternative Transport Options

Zurich’s compact city centre makes walking a delightful option. Cobblestone streets, charming squares, and beautiful architecture make every step enjoyable, especially with a gorgeous escort by your side. If the two of you are heading back to a nearby hotel or making your way to another venue, walking is often the most enjoyable option. 

If walking isn’t your style, consider renting a bike or electric scooter to get around with ease. For a unique experience, the Polybahn funicular offers a quick ride to ETH Zurich with panoramic city views.

Zurich’s excellent transport network ensures you can reach popular destinations effortlessly. Here are some must-visit areas:

  • Bahnhofstrasse: A luxurious shopping street easily accessible by tram.
  • Zurich Old Town: Explore cobbled streets and historic landmarks via tram or on foot.
  • Kreis 5 (Zurich West): A trendy area with vibrant nightlife and dining options. Check out our list of the best romantic restaurants in Zurich for some inspiration.

  • Zones: Ensure your ticket covers all zones for your journey. The city centre (zone 110) counts as two zones.
  • Accessibility: Low-floor trams and buses ensure easy access for all travellers.
