Zurich: Private Banking, Luxury Shopping & Gold Coast Cruise

Explore Zurich’s financial district with a former private banker. Stroll along the Bahnhofstrasse, learn about private banking, & enjoy a first-class cruise on Lake Zurich, sighting exclusive estates.
Meet your guide at Hotel St. Gotthard at the top of Bahnhofstrasse. Begin with introductions, a tour overview, and a moment to settle in.

Walk one of the world's most expensive shopping streets; Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent, Versace. See where private banking entrances are hidden in plain sight among the boutiques, and learn what real wealth looks like in a city where showing off is considered poor taste.

Next, head to Paradeplatz, where trillions of Swiss francs are managed and global wealth quietly moves behind closed doors. Learn how private banking actually works, who these buildings serve, and what it means to manage generational wealth in one of the world's most secretive financial cultures.

Take a short, relaxed walk from the banking district to the lakefront, passing more private banks and wealth management firms than most cities have in their entire financial district. Once you know how to spot them, they're everywhere.

Board the ZSG lake boat for a scenic round-trip cruise on Lake Zurich. The boat heads out along the Gold Coast; past Zürichhorn, Küsnacht, and Erlenbach, before crossing to the Silver Coast and returning to Bürkliplatz.

From the water, hear about the shoreline: the architecture, the addresses, the understated signals of old money and new. Enjoy Swiss wine, bites, and artisan chocolates served on board as you cruise.

Return to Bürkliplatz, perfectly positioned to continue exploring Zurich, find a lakeside bar, or head home with stories most visitors never get to hear.
