Advanced musicians are warmly welcomed in the Meilen Symphony Orchestra, the oldest amateur formation in Switzerland.

Gastronomically, there is everything from cozy lakeside restaurants to traditional village eateries and gourmet temples. Restaurants such as the “Löwen”, the “Thai Orchid” or the “Hotel Hirschen” directly on the lake alongside beautiful excursion restaurants in the middle of nature such as the “Vordere Pfannenstiel” or the “Alpenblick Toggwil” invite you to linger.
