Old Town, Canton of Zurich, Switzerland

Wonderful old city

Also known as Alstadt, Zurich's historical center is a cool mix of old and new. It's home to iconic churches like the twin towers of Grossmunster as well as Fraumunster, which is famous for its stained glass windows. You can also climb up Lindenhof Hill for a bird's eye view of the town and walk the pedestrianized streets of Niederdorf and Limmatquai—they are lively with shops by day and packed with nightlife as the sun goes down. Join a walking tour to explore the medieval alleyways or hop on a cruise along River Limmat for a different view of the picturesque Old Town. – Tripadvisor

    One of the most beautiful cities in the world
    You have Switzerland and you have Zurich. Arriving by train at the Central Station is quite an experience. Just go immediately to the Bahnhof mstrasse and by the end cross one of the Bridges to the other side of the city. Incredible views and buildings everywhere.

    Go wander, it's beautiful!
    The streets of Zurich have something for every wanderer. There are wide 19th-century avenues lined with upscale shops, and narrow winding alleys straight out of medieval fairy tales. Everything is clean and safe and very inviting.
