Description

Discover Zurich beyond the postcards. Join a local guide on a relaxed walking tour through the historic heart of Zurich and discover the stories, people and everyday details that have shaped the city. From elegant Paradeplatz to the narrow streets of the Old Town, you'll encounter famous landmarks alongside lesser-known stories that reveal a different side of Zurich. Why does St. Peter have one of Europe's largest church clock faces? Why did Zürcher turn against their own mayor? And what can medieval Zurich tell us about the city’s housing, wealth and way of life today? Along the way, we'll explore Zurich's guilds, architecture, political history, public spaces and local traditions, while also talking about the city as it is today. You'll get insights into everyday Zurich, from the way locals use the Limmat in summer to the quirks and contradictions that make the city unique. This is not a tour designed to tick off as many sights as possible. It's about connecting the dots and understanding the stories behind the places you see. Whether you're visiting Zurich for the first time or want to look at a familiar city differently, come curious and bring your questions. See Zurich differently.
