Overview of your Zurich tour:

Zürich is Switzerland's "kleintropolis". That is what Max Frisch, a native author and architect, called this place: a small metropolis. Even though the city has grown substantially since Max's time, the description still fits! Come discover this cosmopolitan city filled with culture and history! Our walk begins at the edge of the old town. I'll lead you along the cobblestone streets and show you where the Romans and Carolingians settled. We will explore both the Niederdorf and the Bahnhofstrasse side of the Limmat River. You will see architecture from the medieval to the modern. In addition to the the guild houses, chocolate shops and churches you will notice there are a lot of fountains. Zürich started creating fountains in the Middle Ages to provide residents with water and never seemed to stop. We'll see and talk about them before ending the tour near Paradeplatz and Lake Zurich
