Why choose Zurich for your road trip

Zurich — a city worth exploring

Zurich's Grossmünster church, with its distinctive twin towers, has anchored the city's skyline since the 12th century and remains one of Switzerland's most recognisable landmarks. Beyond this iconic silhouette, the city unfolds along the shores of Lake Zurich and the banks of the Limmat, offering a rewarding mix of culture, nature and urban energy. Stroll through the cobbled lanes of Altstadt (Old Town), browse world-class collections at the Kunsthaus Zürich, or take in panoramic views from Uetliberg mountain on the city's western fringe. The Swiss National Museum, housed in a fairy-tale castle-like building beside the main station, traces the country's history from prehistory to the present. For a change of pace, Bern lies roughly 125 km to the south-west, while the Rhine Falls near Schaffhausen are about 85 km to the north-east — both make excellent day trips by campervan. Zurich's lakeside promenades and well-maintained roads make it a comfortable base for motorhome travel, with clear signage and good infrastructure throughout the region. Through Yescapa's peer-to-peer platform, you can hire a campervan directly from a local owner in the Zurich area, often at a more competitive rate than traditional agencies. It's a practical, personal way to start your Swiss adventure right from the heart of the city.

Best time to visit

Zurich is a year-round destination, though late spring through to early autumn is especially rewarding for campervan travel. The Zürich Festspiele arts festival runs each June, filling the city with opera, theatre and concerts. In August, the Street Parade — one of Europe's largest open-air electronic music events — draws visitors from across the continent. Summer means longer days and pleasant conditions for lakeside stops and mountain drives. If you prefer quieter roads and campsites, May or September offer mild temperatures and fewer fellow travellers. Hiring through Yescapa's peer-to-peer model can help you find competitive rates in Zurich, particularly outside peak summer weeks. Book a few weeks ahead for July and August to secure the best choice of vehicles.

Where to park your motorhome

Parking a motorhome or campervan in Zurich requires a bit of planning, as the city centre has height and length restrictions on many car parks. Park-and-ride (P+R) facilities on the outskirts are your best option — they offer affordable rates and easy public transport links into the centre. Overnight parking in public spaces is generally not permitted without specific signage allowing it, so always check local notices. For longer stays, a nearby campsite with dedicated pitches is the most practical choice.

  • Car Park Zurich Wollishofen (P+R), 4km south — Located in the south of the city near the lake, this P+R facility connects to tram lines heading into the centre. Suitable for larger vehicles with generous bay sizes.
  • P+R Zurich Altstetten, 5km west — Situated on the western edge of Zurich beside Altstetten station, offering direct S-Bahn access to the city centre. A practical spot for motorhomes during daytime visits.
  • Parkplatz Zürichhorn, 2km east — A lakeside car park on the eastern shore, close to the Chinese Garden and sculpture park. Check height restrictions before arrival, as some bays are limited.
