ZÜRICH HOTELIERS TAKE A DIP IN THE LAKE TO KICK OFF SUMMER TRAVEL
As Europe begins opening its borders to international travelers, Zürich Tourism has launched a travel campaign in partnership with 75 of the city’s hotels. The campaign, titled Zürich Weeks, started with a bang: a group of hoteliers gathered for a swim in the city’s favorite pool, Lake Zürich, in a display of optimism and solidarity.
VACCINATED AMERICANS CAN VISIT SWITZERLAND FROM JUNE 28

As part of the campaign, Zürich hotels are offering discounted nightly rates, inviting holiday-goers from across Europe (and, as of June 28, vaccinated Americans) to experience the city’s summer season. Through August 31, 2021, 75 hotels, including the Widder Hotel and Storchen Zürich, are offering four-night stays in four price categories, from CHF 499 to 1499 (approximately US$556 to $1,671)*.
In addition to discounted nightly rates, travelers can expect many warm-weather appeals in the Swiss metropolis. These include water activities (such as outdoor swimming pools, paddleboarding on the river, and boat cruising); and active pursuits, such as hiking through the spectacular landscapes accessible just beyond the city limits. Foodies can sample Zürich’s iconic ice cream parlors and lakeside restaurants, and visit the Lindt Home of Chocolate, which opened its doors last fall.

*The price applies for 4 nights in a double room for 2 people, incl. breakfast and VAT. The local tourist fee of CHF 2.50 per person per night is not included, and must be paid locally at the hotel as an additional charge. Booking period: 1 June to 25 August 2021 Travel period: 3 June to 31 August 2021 (final arrival day is 27 August 2021) The offer is limited and subject to availability.
