Rapperswil-Jona

Rapperswil-Jona, a charming town known as the “Town of Roses,” is situated at the upper end of Lake Zurich and offers a delightful blend of scenic beauty, cultural experiences, hiking, and sports, all wrapped in a Mediterranean holiday atmosphere. Roses decorate the coat of arms of the town of Rapperswil-Jona, and all types and colours of this gorgeous flower bloom in Rapperswil’s public areas and three rose gardens. 

With its well-developed tourist infrastructure and central role as the region’s transport hub, Rapperswil-Jona is easily accessible by public transport. The town’s iconic castle, perched above both the town and lake, serves as a landmark, while the castle hill provides breathtaking panoramic views stretching from the Glarus Alps to the Zurich Oberland. Historic churches, chapels, and monasteries reflect the area’s rich past. The medieval old town, a protected historic monument with minimal traffic, along with the scenic lake promenade and diverse excursion options, make Rapperswil-Jona an ideal destination for families with children.

Josefwiese Park 

When the weather is pleasant, everyone gathers at Josefwiese Park, a favourite spot among locals. Located next to the viaduct in the vibrant Zurich-West quarter, this park offers ample space for various activities. Sports enthusiasts can engage in soccer, pétanque, table tennis, or beach volleyball, while those who prefer a more relaxed experience can enjoy picnics, barbecues, or sunbathing. Children have fun climbing on the playground or splashing in the dancing water fountains. The park’s kiosk provides a selection of salads, barbecue specialties, and refreshing drinks.
