Zürich Old Town Highlights

What's the walk about?

Welcome to Zürich, Switzerland's largest city and its most spirited old town. On this walk we trace the cobblestoned lanes and church-lined banks of the Limmat, the river that splits the medieval heart in two. You'll climb the leafy Lindenhof for the classic rooftop view, listen for the great clock of St. Peter's, and stand before the glowing Chagall windows of the Fraumünster and the twin towers of the Grossmünster. Between the sights you'll stroll the elegant Bahnhofstrasse, wander the buzzing Niederdorf lanes, and finish where the river slips into shimmering Lake Zürich. Everything sits within a tight, easy-to-walk cluster, so all you need to bring is your curiosity.
