Rank : 8.7 (average on 3 votes)

Coordinates : 47.225419,8.815411 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Old Town (Altstadt), Castle, lake, circus museum, museum Polish, roseti.La old town is very well preserved; the focal point is the Castle of Rapperswil, where you can enjoy a magnificent view over the city and Lake Zurich. Coming down from the castle, is the convent of the Capuchin Friars and roses, the pride for the citizens. Between May and June, there are real events relating to the roses and flowers in genere.La old town is closed to vehicular traffic (except for residents and guests of the hotel.) Detail is the party "around the table" that this' year takes place August 16 during which serves only a single long table along the streets of the old town.

Recommended equipment : Wide-angle lens for landscapes citizens, medium / short and macro for street and another for roses and rose gardens.

Best months : Late spring and summer.

How to get there : From Italy, it usually arriving by Como.Poi, you can choose the fastest path (in nenso "less slow") or the longest bella.Se but you do not have much time, at the junction after Lugano, take left to the tunnel Gottardo.Lasciare A2 exit of Schwyz (no. 40), Pfaffikon direction. From Como-Brogeda are 200km, nearly all motorway. It takes about 2h.L 'alternative is instead to take the right (at the junction said) the way to San Bernardino and the junction of Sarganser, take a left and continue on the A3, always Pfaffikon direction. Here are 250 km for about 20 mim in most of the trip (but more scenic).

Visits : Castle Rapperwil (free entry), the Museum of the Circus (input 3 CHF), Wood Museum (free admission), Polish Museum (free admission) City Museum (free admission) rose gardens (free entry) Festival of Jazz / Blues (single input 50 CHF) at the end of June.

Notes : The parking lots are a dozen (ALL surcharge) but do not have a lot of capacity, especially on weekends when special events are held. Therefore, I highly recommend leaving your car to the only free parking (Holzbr�cke) before the bridge that crosses the lake (coming from Schwyz). And 'quite large and there are also the toilets (very, very clean and with disabled access). In addition, leaving the car here, you can take advantage to go for a walk (3.8 km up to the castle). Part of the route (though all of footpath / cycle dedicated) takes place on the catwalk (the aforementioned Holzbr�cke) of wood that crosses the lake.
