    We are going Zurich for a half day tour. we will reach by 1 pm . And We have decided to go for lindt chocolate tour around 5 pm as it is open till 6.30. After that dinner in Zurich restaurants.

    I would like to know what is the best area or lane we should explore in Zurich from 1 pm to 4.30 pm as I want to see the Swiss buildings and architect and old town of Zurich.

    second Is there any particular place which would be recommended for seeing lake Zurich. The lake Zurich is very big and I couldn’t find a perfect touristic spot for taking pics and enjoying the moment.

    Hi Prasun09,

    Why not combine your trip to the Lindt Chocolate Shop with a cruise on River Limmat and boat trip on Lake Zurich? You can find planning tips on how to this here: http://www.myswissalps.com/boatlakezurich

    Additionally you might want to consider a walking tour through the old town and the famous Bahnhofstrasse which leads to the lake. http://www.myswissalps.com/hiking/zurich. There are plenty of places to rest and take pictures along the way.
