Questions
Quick answers
What should I do on a Monday?
Use the outdoor day if conditions suit, because the two main museums normally close Mondays. Check church access separately.
What if the hill is foggy or icy?
Keep the lake and city time flexible and replace the hill with an indoor activity you have checked and booked. Do not force the summit outing in unsuitable conditions.
The days these rules belong to
3 days in Zurich
Give the city three full days, using the clearest suitable day for Uetliberg. Both the Swiss National Museum and Kunsthaus normally close Mondays. The third day pairs a separate hill outing with unhurried waterfront walks. Hotel and airport connections are extra; the outbound hill train needs its own allowance before the first stop.
