Day 2 - Lindt Chocolate Factory and Chur
This morning brings the opportunity to get acquainted with the
tastes of Switzerland - first with breakfast at the hotel, then
after, while exploring one of the country's most famous products:
chocolate. Using your Swiss Travel Pass, which offers a 50-percent
discount on train, boat, and mountain railway journeys, make your
way to Kilchberg. You could embark on a scenic boat ride from
Zürich to Kilchberg or use the local rail network. On arrival,
enjoy a self-guided tour of the Lindt Chocolate Factory, learning
about the history of Swiss chocolate and how these delectable
treats came to be. Of course, there are plenty of opportunities to
taste the creamy chocolate, as well.
Return to Zürich following the tour with time for lunch or to
continue exploring the city ahead of this afternoon's journey to
Chur by rail. As Switzerland's oldest city, Chur brims with
old-world charm presented in its well-preserved buildings, stunning
churches, and medieval architecture at every turn. Jagged Alpine
peaks surround the town, making the setting all the more idyllic.
On arrival, get your bearings in this scenic destination by perhaps
wandering through Old Town or trying a restaurant serving food
typical of the Graubünden region. Overnight Chur.
