Parasta Zürichissä

Zürich's Unmissable Highlights

Zurich’s landscape is defined by its medieval Altstadt and the iconic towers of its three major churches: the Romanesque Grossmünster, the Fraumünster with its Marc Chagall windows, and St. Peter’s, which boasts Europe’s largest clock face. The city’s history as a global financial and luxury hub is evident in the boutiques of Bahnhofstrasse and the banking institutions of Parade Square. Visitors can explore Swiss heritage at the National Museum, enjoy scenic boat tours from the lakefront, or sample world-renowned chocolates at the historic Confiserie Sprüngli.
