An independent travel agency in Zurich that meets your expectations

Discover how easy it can be to organise both national and international business trips with a reliable and efficient travel agency in Zurich. As a business traveller, you know how difficult it can be to sync train and flight times with car rental collections or hotel check ins. However, at Crystal Travel AG, we will always find the most efficient solutions for the most attractive rates.

A travel agency in Zurich with a personal touch

Professionalism, courtesy and efficiency are likely to be just a few of the factors you’ll have in mind when you’re choosing a travel agency in Zurich. At Crystal Travel AG, we are also committed to personalised service, so you'll always talk to a member of our friendly team rather than a call centre. Our travel agency in Zurich is here to help facilitate your travel plans 24 hours per day and seven days a week, so no matter how late or early your meeting or conference is, we’ll find the connections to get you there. Our experienced team understands that you may have specific needs; rail to airport transportation or early or late flights, for example. We will find you high quality accommodation wherever you're headed, and we can even obtain any papers you require to travel on your behalf.

How can a travel agency in Zurich do all that?

Although we operate as an independent business travel agency based in Zurich, Switzerland, our GlobalStar membership enables us to access an extensive range of international business travel services. These may include rail travel, flights or access to over 8,000 hotels worldwide.

Our exceptional reputation as a travel agency in Zurich depends on our performance, so you can be assured of the most attractive and budget friendly solutions.

Bridge the world with your travel agency in Zurich

Each business trip is different. One week you may ask your travel agency in Zurich to arrange flights and car rental for an event in Berlin. Another week, you may be faced with booking flights and accommodation in Dubai for several of your colleagues or organising overground and air transportation that doesn't have you lingering at airports for hours, not to mention visas and other paperwork. Thanks to the vast range of services that we can access through our GlobalStar membership, we're able to make booking any kind of trip fast and easy; whether it's a complex business itinerary, a golf holiday or a family vacation.

REVIEW & TESTIMONIALS

What our customers are saying about us.

Superb private tour was a superb host, guide, driver, and . He wanted to make sure we had a wonderful tour. He contacted me the evening before our tour of the Swiss country side and suggested a later start time, when the chances of rain were less. It worked! We had great weather, many stops for photos, a coffee stop, and beautiful views away from crowds. I highly recommend you make your arrangements months ahead. (I'm glad we did!) I would recommend this tour of Switzerland with the highest recommendation

we will show you Switzerland with immense passion... crescen doing these magnificent majestic views that will leave one breathless! This tour will be life changing for your, your family, and friends! thank you so much my friend, for all you efforts and passion! THE best day of our vacation! It was wonderful to spend the day with a fellow CLOY enthusiast. He was super knowledgeable, extremely personable, funny, kind and really fit in well with our family..it all came together in real life for us.

Lovely Zurich and sorrounds experience We (family of 4 including two teenage girls) were visiting Europe from Australia and were quite time constrained. We had a fantastic experience in Switzerland with Sal. Sal unnderstood our needs perfectly. He went beyond what was booked and made sure that we had the a truly memorable experience with all the moments etched in our minds. the 2 days we spent with him in visiting Zurich, Mount titlis, Einsdeln, Brunnen, Lucern etc were truly organised by Sal like tending to family rather than a tour company. He took the longer path and spend more time than was listed on the itinerary to ensure that it gave us better views and experience. I am grateful that I found Sal and his company (which was through reviews, and hence this review which will help others in similar position seeking a personalise holiday experience in Switzerland) My family did two tours at Swiss Private Tour, and they were wonderful.

Verified review.

Our Zicasso travel agent did an outstanding job of taking our various locations, preferences, and timeline to work with us to plan a very memorable trip. His recommendations based on his personal experiences living abroad made for a very special combination of high-quality accomodations, individualized driving tours, and personal restaurant referrals that were all as unique as they were of the highest quality. He was very flexible with any changes we wanted to make in the planning stage. He was extremely accessible no matter what time of day and arranged all tours and transportation logistics (planes, trains, and automobiles!) over the 10 days we were in Germany. We couldn't have been happier with our time there or his references, and were truly amazed by the incredible range of experiences we had over the course of our travels from north to south. It all went like clockwork!

We had a wonderful family vacation. Zicasso's travel specialist took time to understand our needs and work with us over several months to provide us with his views and suggestions. He was patient in listening to us and made an effort to refine the itineraries to meet our needs. Throughout the trip, he stayed in touch to provide the support needed. For example, the connecting train from Visp to Zermatt was stopped due to weather. He was with us all the way to provide assurance and guidance in reaching Zermatt safely. Everything was well organized. When we reached our hotel room, a lovely pouch with all the necessary travel vouchers and tickets was on our desk.

The Zicasso tour company proved to be a super travel partner for my wife and me on a two-week trip to the central European cities of Prague, Salzburg, Vienna, and Budapest. They worked with us closely on the front end to identify our goals and interests, and structured the trip to fully meet those goals and interests. While traveling, their operational manager was in regular contact with us and available on relatively short notice. The itinerary was completed without any hitches, and the guided tours, landmark sights, classical concerts, and timing all worked out well. Each of the four selected hotels were winners! They were located at central spots for easy walking to most activities. The day-by-day tour itinerary was immensely helpful.

We could not have had a better experience. Our travel agent and the team at our Zicasso travel partner were fabulous. They built a wonderful itinerary that really fit our interests. All of the tours were top-notch. Each of the hotels exceeded our expectations and all of the dinner reservations were wonderful!

Zicasso’s travel company provided a transformative travel experience; truly once in a lifetime. We were introduced to Zicasso by our friends and thank their agent and travel company for their outstanding compassion, empathy, and patience. They grasped our brief with remarkable clarity and crafted an itinerary that ensured incredibly enriching experiences at each destination, during travel, and in accommodations. They accommodated our need for space between intercity travels and provided invaluable advice and support, from itinerary changes to visa requirements, on-the-ground adjustments, and regular check-ins. I highly recommend our agent and his company for their attentive listening, empathetic approach, and expertise in curating unforgettable itineraries. Thank you, you changed the way we experience Europe and it will always be hard to match the high bar you set with this trip. We are deeply appreciative of our agent and his company’s staff.

Lindsey's Travel Agency

My sister and I had a wonderful trip! We used Zicasso's travel agent to plan it. From the beginning, all our questions were answered and they offered suggestions along the way. Everything was planned out for us, including private and small group tours. Transportation, if needed, was all arranged. Directions and maps were provided, if needed, along with any tickets for trains and tours. All our hotels were conveniently located and we were within walking distance from restaurants, shops, and metro systems. We really appreciated that. I highly recommend this travel company and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. I can’t thank them enough for planning our trip, which has provided so many lasting and priceless memories!

Bernhard's Travel Agency

Our Zicasso travel partner listened to our preferences and needs, and helped design a fabulous trip for our family. Transportation was flawless throughout the trip and the local guides were wonderful. We enjoyed getting to know them personally and learning about their hometowns. I especially valued the app that provided us with every detail for each day, including emergency contacts, hotel information, and itinerary. Thank you!

Expert Tips for Discerning Travelers

Luxury Travel to Zurich

This majestic city stands proudly on the lower end of Lake Zurich, decorative spires piercing the clear sky. The ornate buildings of the old town line the banks of the Limmat, telling the story of the city’s past and adding to its allure, while Lindenhof, the historic heart of the city, sits perched atop a small hill on the west bank of the river.

Zurich’s skyline is dominated by its churches, the iconic twin towers of Grossmünster and the clock tower of St. Peter soaring up out of the maze of roofs. Stroll along old cobbled streets exploring the interesting shops and boutiques, and be sure to take a moment to drink in the atmosphere at one of numerous cafés as you sip on fresh coffee and a savour the fine chocolate Switzerland is known for.

The city might be filled with quaint colourful buildings, but it is also one of Europe’s most cosmopolitan with a thriving cultural scene. As well as an exceptional opera house and world-class museums and theatres, Zurich has a wonderfully forward thinking and contemporary arts scene with many factory buildings being turned into galleries and exhibition spaces.

For unrivalled views of the city, hop on a train and head up to the top of the Üetliberg hill. And if ancient history fascinates you, visit the prehistoric settlements at Enge Alpenquai and Grosser Hafner and Kleiner Hafner.

Zurich is blessed with plenty of parks and green space, and escaping the hustle and bustle is easy with the forests of Adlisberg, Zürichberg, Käferberg, Hönggerberg and Üetliberg in easy reach.

Zurich has plenty of museums and galleries, making it a year-round destination. In the warmer summer months you can enjoy Lake Zurich and in December there are excellent Christmas markets.

Good central zurich location

Moshe E. Business - 5/27/2024 Confirmed reviews ALL

Room was a bit small. Biggest problem was that no window whatsoever could be opened and we were very hot... Checked the AC ,it was on the coolest , but it was still very hot and stuffy in the room... This can be solved by putting a mobile fan in each room that has windows that dont open at all.

Dear Mr. E. We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Mercure Zürich City. Due to it being a high tower we do not have any windows which can open due to it being a security reason. We just have a fresh air cooling system, meaning we cool with the fresh air from the outside. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope your next visit will be as pleasant as the previous one. Sincerely, Julia Hermes Assistant Front Office Manager

• Disney & Florida Planning New Development Agreement Worth Up To $17B, Would Add 5th Park At Walt Disney World

After years of acrimony between Disney and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis , the two sides are working on a new development agreement that would provide assurances and guardrails for the Bob Iger-run behemoth as it plans to expand near Orlando. In exchange, the State of Florida would see up to $17 billion in investment from Disney over “the next ten to twenty years.” It also sets the stage for a fifth park at the resort.

Disney’s $1.9B DisneylandForward Plan Gets Final Approval From Anaheim City Council; Major Changes Set For Walt’s Original Park

Bob Iger Reveals First Look At ‘Avatar’ Area At Disneyland, Says The Idea That Disney Is Letting NBCU’s Epic Universe Invade Its Orlando Turf “Couldn’t Be Further From The Truth”

One new deal point in the proposed agreement is a minimum spend on Disney’s part.

“In furtherance of its plans to make significant capital investment in the Project during the term of this Agreement, Disney agrees to make at least an initial capital investment of $8 billion dollars within the first ten (10) years of the term of the Agreement, consisting of capital investment in existing infrastructure, new construction and technology investment.”

There is also a promise of a “minimum development” of 5 major theme parks in Orlando.

Additionally, there is a provision that Disney may “convert hotel/motel land use entitlements to up to an additional 225,000 gross square feet of office uses within the District Jurisdictional Properties.”

That item may just be additional flexibility, but it also could make room for Disney to restart its plan to move approximately 2,000 Parks, Experiences & Products staffers and their families to central Florida from California. That plan, which was put on ice almost exactly a year ago, would add not just jobs, but more tax revenue to the $1.1 billion Disney already pours into the state’s economy.

Disney just locked down a similar revised development agreement with the City of Anaheim for Walt’s original park. That deal gives Disney increased flexibility to create mixed use environments and new zoning permissions enabling it to add additional attractions. Dubbed  DisneylandForward , the multi-decade expansion plan is tabbed at $1.9 billion. The company last fall touted a $60 billion investment commitment to its parks worldwide over the next 10 years, though details have been scant.

Another force likely driving the Disney deals is Epic Universe , a highly anticipated $1 billion expansion at Universal Studios Orlando set to open next year. Universal’s parks unit is riding high ofter opening its first Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood last year and announcing regional parks in Las Vegas and Texas.

In response to a question about competition from NBCU during the company’s last earnings call, Disney CEO Bob Iger said , “We’ve been aware of Universal’s plans for a new park for more than a decade. And we have a sophisticated approach to analyzing the needs of all of our businesses and strategically deploying capital.”

He then got another shareholder question about why more details about Disney’s promised total $60 billion investment in its parks have not been shared. Iger kept his comments fairly brief. “You know, we have a lot of projects in development,” he said. “Many of them are known to us. But we disclose these at a cadence and when we really feel we’re ready, and we have something more tangible to show people.”

Experiences, the division that encompasses theme parks and consumer products, reported a 10% rise to $8.4 billion, while operating profit climbed 12% to almost $2.3 billion in the most recent quarter.

The uptick was driven by international led by Hong Kong  Disneyland .  Walt Disney World  and the cruise line were solid. But Disneyland, despite growing attendance and per capita spend, saw results dip year-on-year on higher costs, including labor, said CFO Hugh Johnston on an earnings call with analysts.

A big surprise — he said Parks growth in the current fiscal third quarter will be flat for a few reasons including “some normalization of post-Covid demand as it relates to demand. While consumers continue to travel in record numbers and we are still seeing healthy demand, we are seeing some evidence of a global moderation from peak post-Covid travel.”

Queer photographers’ most radical act? Turning the lens on themselves

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

Against a dark, inky background, two figures embrace. One envelopes the other, as his hand obscures a face we might otherwise have seen. The second figure faces a mirror as he cradles a camera, the lens pointed at us. We are watching a moment of tenderness.

With queer lives and culture under threat, Our Queerest Century highlights the contributions of LGBTQ+ people since the 1924 founding of the nation’s first gay rights organization. Pre-order a copy of the series in print.

Paul Mpagi Sepuya’s “Darkroom Mirror (_2070386)” (2017) plays with our sense of closeness and distance, of seeing and not seeing. Sepuya “creates images that hold you,” novelist Justin Torres wrote in The Times’ Image magazine . They “give pause and invite reflection … very much like catching someone else, someone you care for, gazing into the mirror.”

Sepuya uses the mirror to explore the unknown, while nodding to the staged nature of the artist’s studio. His portraits are intentionally, and understandably, queer.

In “the queer subjectivity that I was thinking about,” Sepuya said, “there is not a need to have specific boundaries.” Definitions are “fluid.”

“The structure of the simultaneous positions in which people can relate to each other — that’s the thing that I’m thinking of as queer,” Sepuya said in a recent interview. “Not the fact that this is a portrait of someone and this is their sexual orientation or gender.”

Across the artistic landscape, queer creators and performers have always had an outsized influence — despite robust efforts to suppress their voices and force them into a box. In music and theater, the film and television industries , fashion and the visual arts, LGBTQ+ artists have left a clear and indelible mark.

In the last century, queer artists have increasingly stepped into their creative power, pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo. In the process, they have encouraged us all to reconsider the rigid ways in which we view the world and what is possible in art marking.

Queer photographers , in particular, have been on the vanguard of that movement, not only by capturing the world around them, but by turning their cameras back on themselves — a daring move in a disapproving world.

By focusing on themselves, their communities and the spaces they cherish, they have challenged and expanded our understanding of art and its boundaries, of image-making and culture, of how we see our bodies, our relationships and our communal resilience in the face of trauma such as AIDS, racism and sexism. They have created archives of the places and spaces that might otherwise be overlooked.

In April 1990, about a year after photographer Robert Mapplethorpe died of AIDS, “The Perfect Moment,” a retrospective show of 175 works, was scheduled to open at Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center. It included his “X” portfolio, which featured black-and-white photographs of nude bodies and sexually explicit scenes. One of the images was a self-portrait showing the artist with his back to the camera, bent at the waist and peering over his shoulder, nude but for leather chaps, vest and boots, a bullwhip in his anus.

On opening day, a grand jury indicted the museum and museum director Dennis Barrie for pandering obscenity and using children in nudity-related material. Seven of Mapplethorpe’s photos, two featuring nude or partially nude children, were deemed obscene. It was the first time in modern history that a museum faced criminal charges for a work on display.

A jury ultimately rejected the argument from prosecutors that the photographs were pornographic and without artistic merit and found the museum and its director not guilty. The case was a win for queer artists, but also a warning: Queer artists have always been and continue to be under threat. Their influence is borne in part by their defiance.

We must remember the heroes of the AIDS epidemic, not just the trauma

In the 1960s and ‘70s, photographers like Kay Tobin Lahusen and Diana Davies captured images of activist movements and daily life in the queer community — images that were largely absent from popular culture. Donna Gottschalk portrayed lesbian intimacy. Joan E. Biren, also known as JEB, published the influential book “Eye to Eye: Portraits of Lesbians.”

From the 1980s to the early 2000s, Laura Aguilar created images that highlighted lesbian culture in Los Angeles, as well as nude portraits of herself and those around her.

In more recent years, the work of queer photographers, Sepuya among them, has become more visible. Early on, he photographed himself with folks in his community “as if they were, or had been, a lover.” Outside of the studio, they had different levels of friendship and connection, but in the photos, there’s a sense of desire, and Sepuya was curious how the images would be received. (His work has been widely praised, with one headline declaring that Sepuya “breathes new life into the genre of studio portraiture.”)

Over the last two decades, his photographs have lifted the curtain on the artist’s studio, investigating how images are constructed. Many of his photographs show him holding the camera, along with props, mirrors and lighting equipment in the background.

In a 2022 article for The Times , Leah Ollman wrote: “Sepuya complicates the studio-based portrait genre in his constructed scenes of male bodies (including his own) posing, entwining and looking through the camera, itself an instrumental character, with a sort of agency.”

In the context of art history, Sepuya points to how the studio, for centuries, was a place to view nude bodies for the sake of art-making. The camera, however, required photographers to look underneath a dark cloth, bringing critiques of “impropriety” to the forefront. His work brings that history forward, reminding us in ways others haven’t, that “sexuality and those drives and curiosity and playfulness” are all “part of the formation of these spaces to begin with,” he said.

Catherine Opie

Renowned queer photographer Catherine Opie has called Sepuya’s work groundbreaking. For the last several decades, she has been taking photographs that capture and examine themes such as gender and sexuality, and class and space.

Her lens shifts from the social and universal to the achingly intimate; one of her most-discussed photographs is 1993’s “Self-Portrait/Cutting,” which depicts Opie’s back with fresh cuts across her skin. The cuts themselves depict a family portrait in a child-like, stick-figure style. The image captures a breakup and the unfulfilled dream of a domestic space with a family.

Earlier this year, the show “harmony is fraught” at Regen Projects presented Opie’s work across the decades, with an emphasis on Los Angeles in the 1980s and ‘90s, taken from her archives.

“I tend to be weepy at 62,” Opie said during a walk-through of the exhibition, explaining that the show is, perhaps, her most diaristic one to date. There’s a photograph of the artist at 28 that feels especially poignant; queer folks’ lives are often cut short due to violence or health issues.

Her portraits spotlight folks in kink communities and subcultures, unapologetically expressing their fullest selves for the camera, such as “Gauntlet Group, 1995” (1995/2024). The photograph frames a group of men and women standing closely together, nude or semi-nude, all tattoos, piercings, genitalia and direct, amused gazes.

Her work has also contributed to conversations about Los Angeles as a mythical place and how queer communities exist within its fraught history. For a time, Opie, a professor of photography at UCLA, lived in an apartment building with a number of other lesbian neighbors; the group lovingly called the space, near 3rd and Catalina streets in Koreatown, Casa de Estrogen. It was there, in Opie’s living room, that artist Judy Bamber carved “Self-Portrait/Cutting” on the photographer’s back.

Opie’s photos of queer folks make up a significant part of her work, but her images of freeways, architecture and queer spaces are also significant. The photographer points out the pay phones and cars that dot the L.A. landscape, markers of a different time. Her photographs capture the 1988 Los Angeles Gay Rodeo in Burbank and places such as the Palms, a West Hollywood lesbian bar that closed in 2013.

In 2016, Times arts and culture writer Deborah Vankin called Opie “an anthropological chronicler of communities” whose work captures groups ranging from “lesbian couples across the U.S.” to “Malibu surfers,” while the Smithsonian awarded her its Archives of American Art Medal.

Reynaldo Rivera

Reynaldo Rivera — currently enjoying his first solo museum exhibition at MoMA PS1 in Queens — has also captured Los Angeles and queer communities over the decades. The artist took photographs of glitterati for L.A. Weekly, and also created images of drag performers, often backstage before a show. Rivera says growing up queer meant not wanting to be pigeonholed, especially about gender. His work explores that, with images that include drag performers in the ‘80s and ‘90s, who he says never quite got their due.

“They influenced so many people at that time because back in those days, it was a very different world,” said Rivera. “And drag was kind of this allure … everything was made in this dressing room. Their family probably didn’t know that they did drag, because in those days, that was considered, like, the worst.”

America is again stuck in darkness. Queer people of color have always known the way out

People who exist at the nexus of multiple movements for liberation are the ones who drive us forward, treating the struggle for equality with urgency.

In the black-and-white photograph “Gaby, La Plaza” (1994), two performers are shown getting ready, surrounded by wigs and outfits. They seem to be mid-conversation, one fixing their hair in a frilly leotard. There’s a sense of energy and movement in the image, but also of being frozen in time.

“The role I played in the taking of most of those photos was that I was part of whatever was going on,” said Rivera. “So it was like I was in the photo. I just didn’t happen to come up. I was on the other side.”

Lauren Mackler, guest curator of the MoMA PS1 exhibition “Reynaldo Rivera: Fistful of Love/También la belleza,” (May 16-Sept. 9) echoes this sentiment. “He’s capturing a thing that’s already happening and he’s complicit in it,” said Mackler. “He’s a participant. It has this feeling of being really alive and really immersive and raw and honest about what it is, without trying to sensationalize anything.”

Rivera said he often looked through movie star magazines and watched old Hollywood films while ditching school. His work, he said, is about capturing “a different reality” than what the mainstream might usually perceive.

The work of queer photographers such as Rivera, Opie and Sepuya asks that we look closer, then look again. Sepuya lays bare the artist’s studio and the relationship between subjects through a queer lens. Opie unflinchingly frames her queer domestic life, encouraging us to think about how Los Angeles has changed, how it’s stayed the same, and how our own bodies relate to these shifts. Rivera asks that we recognize the humanity in the queer people he so intimately captures.

What queer photographers have done for decades now is throw open the doors to their lives and the lives of the queer people around them — not just in controlled or carefully crafted moments, but in tender ones, where they are their most vulnerable and authentic.

As in Sepuya’s “Darkroom Mirror (_2070386),” they have not only faced the mirror, but allowed all of us to look along with them.
