Is Zurich worth visiting at the end of winter? I spent 36 hours exploring Switzerland’s biggest city during late March to find out—and the results surprised me. From epic city views on Uetliberg mountain to cozy cafés, Old Town charm, and yes… plenty of Swiss chocolate, Zurich delivered a unique shoulder-season experience.
🌧️ This time of year means fewer crowds, dramatic weather, and a more local, relaxed vibe. In this video, I’ll show you exactly what you can see and do in Zurich in just 36 hours—including what’s worth it in March, and what might be better saved for summer.
📍Places visited:
Hauptbahnhof (Zurich Main Station)
Lindenhof Hill (Best viewpoint)
Fraumünster Church
Bahnhofstrasse (Luxury shopping & chocolate)
Old Town / Altstadt
St. Peter’s Church
Bürkliplatz & Lake Zurich
Uetliberg Mountain (Zurich’s local mountain)

📸 Equipment
(*Note that I value lightweight, compact and budget friendly options because of the type of travels I normally do)
* iPhone 15 Pro Max - amzn.to/3SKEOPR
I have moved over to the iPhone for most of the ground footage - it actually takes amazing videos and my phone is always close by.
* DJI Mini 4 Pro - amzn.to/3W8MVI5
I absolutely love this drone - its small, compact and provides amazing footage.
* GoPro - amzn.to/3W88ok9
I still use the GoPro for the ‘on the go’ shots. It has great stablization, battery life and quality.
