Tour description
Zurich is Switzerland's largest and most dynamic city, a global financial centre with a surprisingly charming medieval old town of guild houses, church spires and riverside lanes set where the Limmat river meets the lake. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its history and character.
You will wander the old town on both banks of the river, admire the great churches, and stroll toward the lakefront. Along the way you will hear about the guilds, the Reformation and modern Zurich. Vibrant and historic, Zurich is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
