Getting There By Water

Zurich is located at the mouth of the River Limmat, where it spills into the northern end of Lake Zurich. The main ferry terminal is at Enge on the western shore of Lake Zurich, but it is easier to board at Brkliplatz..

Ferry services: Zrichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft, Mythenquai 333 (tel: (01) 487 1333; fax: (01) 487 1320; e-mail: ahoi@zsg.ch; website: www.zsg.ch), operates regular services from Rapperswil and Schmerikon, at the far end of the lake.

Transport to the city: Trams 2, 5, 8, 9 or 11 and buses 161 or 165 all serve Brkliplatz. For Enge, tram 5 from Bellevueplatz or Bahnhof Zurich-Enge stops at the Arboretum adjacent to the harbour.
