Entertainment & Activities

Take a boat at Bellevue and go to Rapperswil for a nice boat tour around the lake. Rapperswil is a charming beautiful town with a little castle, an awesome Zoo for kids (they can interact with some animals, feed them etc) and beautiful lake view 7 good restaurants at the lake too. Highly recommend. You should go by boat and come back to the city by train, so you save some time.
