Activity itinerary

Ganymede (Pass by)

The bronze sculpture you see before you, depicting a young man with his arm raised and accompanied by an eagle, is the sculpture of Ganymede. It sits in front of the lake on the popular Burkliplatz since 1952 and is today the emblem of the square.

Lake Zurich (Pass by)

Here you are at the northern end of the lake. Switzerland has nearly 200 lakes and the Zurich lake, of which you can see only a tiny part, has the shape of a 42-kilometre-long banana. This is 88 km2 with a maximum depth reaching 143 metres deep.

Zurich, Agence générale Mario Murisier (Pass by)

This pleasant walk along the lake offers you a splendid view of its turquoise waters. If you continue along the docks, you will arrive at the Utoquai Baths, a Zurich institution built in 1890.

Zürich Opera House (Pass by)

Now you are facing the majestic Zurich Opera. Opened to the public in 1891, the building first became known as the city theatre, as it served as a concert hall, opera house and theatre.

Hechtplatz (Pass by)

You pass through the charming little Hechtplatz square where the theatre of the same name is located. It was founded in 1959

Wasserkirche (Pass by)

The church you now have before you is the Wasserkirche. Translate the church of water. This mysterious name comes from the fact that the first church (this one is a later reconstruction) was located on a small island in the Limmat River.

Grossmunster (Pass by)

Now you are facing the prom queen, the famous Grossmünster. Translate the Great Abbey. It is one of the most important religious buildings in Zurich and is a must when visiting the city.

Limmatquai (Pass by)

You reach the Limmatquai, which, as its name suggests, runs along the Limmat River. The river begins here in Zurich, because it is the lake that flows into the river and not the other way around.

Zurich town hall (Pass by)

The impressive building you now have before you is the Rathaus, the Zurich City Inn. This historic building was built in the 1690s to replace its wooden predecessors built in the 13th and 14th centuries respectively.

Cabaret Voltaire (Pass by)

Do you know Dadaism? Fans will be delighted to learn that this intellectual and artistic movement was born here at Cabaret Voltaire.

Neumarkt (Pass by)

You are now in the Neumarkt district of Zurich's Old Town. The small square is dominated by important elements. You see the large white corporate house, which today hosts the Neumarkt Theatre and its restaurant.

Stussibrunnen (Pass by)

You have here, in the heart of the square, a beautiful fountain, surmounted by a statue of a man in armour. If you have ever visited Bern, you are certainly familiar with this type of ornamental fountains, often considered a feature of the Swiss Renaissance.

Niederdorf (Pass by)

This long, lively street in the city centre is Niederdorf Street, the heart of the Niederdorf district. It is one of the most popular areas of the old town, especially for its many restaurants, cafes and shops that line its picturesque streets.

Schipfe 51 Jackson (Pass by)

Now you are on the left bank of the Limmat River in the heart of Schipfe, Zurich’s oldest district. Historians even believe that the area was part of the port of the Roman city Turicum.

Lindenhof Hill (Pass by)

You are now in Lindenhof Square, which offers a beautiful panoramic view of the historic centre of Zurich. But if we brought you here, it’s not just for the beautiful souvenir photo.

Lindenhof Hill (Pass by)

The Roman remains of the Lindenhof could go completely unnoticed if attention is not paid. See on your left, the small stele leaned against the wall. It is the tombstone of Lucius Aelius Urbicus, dating from the 2nd century.

St. Peter's Church (Pass by)

Now you are standing before the Protestant Church of St. Peter. You may notice that it is quite different from other churches in the city. Inaugurated in 1706, it is the only baroque church in Zurich.

Bahnhofstrasse (Pass by)

Take out or hide your credit cards, it’s up to you, here you are on the chic Avenue of Zurich. The most expensive street in Europe, the Champs-Élysées Zurich, I named the famous Bahnhofstrasse.

Fraumunster Church (Pass by)

Another major church in Zurich is the Fraumünster, which you could translate as the Ladies’ Abbey. Its name comes from the fact that in the 9th century, a monastery was founded here by Charlemagne’s grandson.

Stadthaus (Pass by)

The magnificent Neo-Gothic Town Inn that you now have before you is adjacent to the church, because it was built on the spot where the Fraumünster Convent of the Ladies used to be. The construction of a brand-new and impressive Town Inn like this one comes from a phenomenon known in German as the Gründerzeit.
