Essential Old Town Zurich Wheelchair Accessible Tour
This 1.5-hour Essential Old Town Zurich Wheelchair Accessible Tour is a perfect way to get an overview of the Old Town of Zurich firsthand. Known for its churches, old historic buildings, and shopping, Zurich offers a fascinating stop on your accessible European holiday.
This wheelchair-friendly guided tour starts with your private, professional guide meeting you at your centrally located accessible Zurich hotel or another central meetup location. Using accessible, step-free routes your guide will lead you through the old historic center of Zurich, while sharing some of the amazing history and anecdotes that belong to Zurich.
As you stroll through the Old Town, you will enjoy a stop by the stunning St. Peter’s Church, a Romanesque-gothic-baroque church built on remains of former churches from before the 9th century. You’ll have an opportunity to take photos from outside and admire the exterior of this fascinating historic church.
Your accessible Zurich tour continues along the popular Bahnhofstrasse, the most famous shopping street in Zurich! This part of the city was built in 1864 after the Parisian boulevard standards. You will stop at the Sprüngli, the oldest Chocolatier in town, and view it from the outside while your guide shares the history of the place with you.
Last on this overview of Old Town Zurich tour, you’ll enjoy beautiful views of Lake Zurich and the Zurich Opera house that has been the home of the Zurich Opera since 1891. The opera houses the Bernhard-Theater Zurich and the Zurich Ballet.

Accessibility Description:
I gave the Essential Old Town Zurich Wheelchair Accessible Tour a 3 Star Sage Accessibility Rating because it includes step-free routes and is primarily flat. It also includes accessible bathrooms along the route. It did not get a higher rating because the tour participants will need to walk/roll along the route rather than drive, and there are several parts with mild to moderate cobblestones. Due to the nature of the city’s layout, you will encounter mild slopes as well.
Some streets along the route have mild slopes to them.
Cobblestones lead uphill to St. Peter’s church (see photo on the left below). Bahnhofstrasse street is flat (see photo on the right).
Accessible public toilets will be available along the route.
