The Limmat cruise ride & boat ride on lake zurich

Short summary – read this first

A traveler named Jayy123 is planning to explore boat rides on Lake Zurich and the Limmat River. They want to confirm the departure points and find recommendations for shorter trips, specifically inquiring if Rapperswil is a suitable choice for a ride under 2 hours. They also need help locating time tables for the Limmat cruises.

Key takeaways:
  • Lake Zurich boat rides depart from Bürkliplatz and Landesmuseum.
  • Rapperswil is not suitable for a trip under 2 hours, as it takes about 4 hours round-trip.
  • The Limmat river cruises take about 1 hour for a round-trip from the Landesmuseum.

    Hi!

    I could easily find the time tables for the lake Zurich boat rides. Just correct me if I’m wrong. Landesmuseum and burkiplatz are the places from where the boats depart, right? And if I prefer a ride that’s lesser than 2 hours, is rapperswil the best destination? Or somewhere else?

    Also, where do I find the time tables for the limmat cruise rides? I’d prefer a short or medium round trip. And which is the place from the limmats cruises depart?

    Thanks!
