Rapperswil, the Riviera on the upper part of Lake Zurich, awaits visitors with southern charm. The small alleys in the medieval old town invite you to go shopping.

Rapperswil Castle is enthroned on the Castle Hill. From here you have a captivating view over the city and the lake. Rapperswil deserves the name Rose City because of the more than 20,000 roses that bloom from May to October in the rose gardens at the Capuchin Monastery and on the "Schanz". The latter is a blind rose garden with special scented roses. Their names are written in Braille on notice boards.

Rapperswil is an interesting town with a large lake access, this amounts to Bollingen. The city is always something to discover with its lanes. The shops in the old town are always open also on Sunday. In sunny weather, the harbor is a popular place to go for a walk.
