Unlimited Use of Public Transport in Zurich
The Zurich Tourist Card allows you to hop on and off as many times as you like for 24 or 72 hours on the city's trains, trams, buses, boats, funiculars, and cable cars. This unlimited travel is valid during the time the card is activated. It also includes transfers between the city and Zurich Airport.

How Does It Work?
The Zurich Card is 100% digital. Once you have made your reservation, we'll send you instructions on how to easily download the free Zurich City Guide app for iOS or Android. This will give you access to all the ticket and transport benefits included with the card.
Once you've downloaded the app, simply enter your personal information, date, and time. Activate your card before using public transport or visiting a museum or monument.
The card's validity period begins from the moment it's activated. Therefore, we recommend not activating it until you need to use public transport or visit an attraction for the first time.
Children Under 6
Children under 6 do not need a card when accompanied by an adult. However, not all activities are free for children. At some tourist attractions and museums, discounts are only available to adults.
Swiss Travel Pass
If you want to venture beyond Zurich and visit more of Switzerland, we recommend the Swiss Travel Pass. With this tourist card, you'll enjoy unlimited travel on buses, trains, and boats throughout the country. You'll also have access to over 500 museums. The best of the best!
