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 a landmark you can spot from almost anywhere along the Limmat river. Beyond its medieval Old Town, Zurich offers world-class culture at the Kunsthaus Zürich, home to one of Switzerland's most important art collections, and the Swiss National Museum, which traces the country's history from prehistory to the present. Stroll along Bahnhofstrasse for upscale shopping, then unwind at the Zürichhorn lakeside park on the eastern shore of Lake Zurich. Nature is never far away — Uetliberg, the city's own mountain, rewards you with panoramic views across the Alps and the lake after a short train ride. Bern lies roughly 125 km to the south-west, while Lucerne is just 52 km south, making Zurich an ideal base for wider Swiss exploration by road. The well-maintained motorway network and clearly signposted routes around the lake make driving a motorhome straightforward, though city-centre streets can be narrow, so plan your parking in advance. With Yescapa, you hire a campervan directly from local owners who know the best routes and overnight spots around Zurich. This peer-to-peer approach often means more flexible pick-up points across the city and personalised tips you won't find in any guidebook — a great way to start your campervan adventure in Switzerland.
Best time to visit
Zurich comes alive between May and September, when long daylight hours let you make the most of lakeside walks and Alpine drives. The Zürich Festival in June and July fills the city with opera, theatre and concerts, while the Street Parade in August draws music lovers from across Europe. Spring and autumn bring quieter campsites and lower hire rates, ideal if you prefer a more relaxed pace. With Yescapa, peer-to-peer pricing means you can often find a campervan at competitive rates even during busier months. Book a few weeks ahead for summer to secure the vehicle that suits you best.
Top getaways from Zurich
Zurich is the perfect base for exploring the region by motorhome or campervan. Here are our 6 must-see getaways
Zurich to Lucerne
52km south 1–4 days
Head 52 km south from Zurich through rolling green hills to Lucerne. Cross the famous Chapel Bridge, then visit the Swiss Museum of Transport on the lakeshore. Campervan parking is available near the lake, and you can easily spend 1–4 days exploring the Rigi or Pilatus mountains nearby.
Zurich to Rhine Falls
85km northeast 1–3 days
Drive 85 km north-east from Zurich to reach Europe's largest waterfall at Schaffhausen. Stop in Winterthur along the way to explore the Oskar Reinhart Collection. Rhine Falls has dedicated motorhome parking, and 1–3 days is plenty to enjoy the falls and the medieval old town.
Zurich to Appenzell and Lake Constance
130km east 3–6 days
This 130 km route east from Zurich takes you into the Appenzell region, known for its painted houses and local cheese dairies. Continue to Rorschach on Lake Constance for waterfront walks. Allow 3–6 days and book campsites early in summer, as lakeside pitches are popular.
Zurich to Graubünden
175km southeast 3–6 days
Travel 175 km south-east from Zurich into Graubünden, stopping at Chur, Switzerland's oldest city, before winding through the Flüela Pass towards Davos. Mountain roads are well maintained but take your time in a campervan. Spend 3–6 days soaking in hot springs at Vals and hiking Alpine trails.

Head 310 km south from Zurich through the Gotthard Pass into Italian-speaking Ticino. Explore Bellinzona's three UNESCO-listed castles, then relax by Lake Maggiore in Locarno. Campervan-friendly aires are plentiful in Ticino, and 5–8 days gives you time to savour the Mediterranean atmosphere.

Most sites provide electric hook-ups, fresh water, waste disposal and modern shower blocks.

Where to park your motorhome
Parking a larger vehicle in Zurich requires a bit of planning. Overnight stays in motorhomes or campervans are not permitted on public streets within the city. Height barriers on many multi-storey car parks rule them out for taller vehicles, so look for open-air P+R sites on the outskirts. These offer affordable day rates and direct tram links into the centre, letting you explore without the hassle of navigating narrow old-town lanes.
- Car Park Zurich Wollishofen (P+R), 4km south — Open-air park-and-ride on the southern lakeshore with tram connections to the city centre. Suitable for larger vehicles and reasonably priced for day use.
- P+R Zurich Altstetten, 5km west — Spacious park-and-ride near Altstetten station in the west of the city. Good ceiling clearance and direct S-Bahn access to the main station.
- Parkplatz Zürichhorn, 2km east — Lakeside car park on the eastern shore, close to the Chinese Garden and Zürichhorn park. Open-air layout accommodates taller vehicles during daytime visits.
Frequently asked questions
Campervan hire in Zurich typically starts from around £80–£130 per day, depending on the vehicle size, season and how far ahead you book. Larger motorhomes with more berths sit at the higher end. Through Yescapa's peer-to-peer platform, you hire directly from local owners, which often means more competitive rates and the flexibility to negotiate longer-term discounts for extended Swiss road trips.
On Yescapa, motorhome owners across the Zurich area list their vehicles for hire, so pick-up points vary. You will commonly find options in districts such as Oerlikon, Altstetten and around the southern lakeshore suburbs. Some owners also offer collection near Zurich Airport, which is handy if you are flying in. Filter by location on the platform to find the most convenient spot for you.
Travelling in spring or autumn rather than peak summer helps keep costs down. On Yescapa, you can compare prices from private owners in the Zurich area and filter by budget. Booking well in advance often unlocks better rates, and choosing a compact campervan rather than a large motorhome reduces both hire and fuel costs. Peer-to-peer hire also avoids the overheads of traditional rental depots.
For couples or solo travellers, a compact campervan with two berths is easy to park and economical on fuel around Zurich's lakeside roads. Families of four or five are well served by a motorhome with a fixed bed and dinette conversion. On Yescapa, each listing details the number of berths, sleeping layout and driving licence requirements, so you can match the vehicle to your group before you book.
Yes — many Yescapa owners around Zurich welcome pets on board. Each listing clearly states whether dogs are allowed, so you can filter for pet-friendly vehicles when searching. Switzerland is a great destination for dogs, with lakeside paths and mountain trails easily accessible from Zurich. Just remember to carry your pet's EU health certificate and check campsite rules on arrival.
