On the third Monday of April, the guilds of Zurich celebrate their traditional spring festival with the burning of the snow man (Böögg). A procession of several hundreds of people with historical guild costumes and horses takes place in the centre of the town.
One of the busiest and best-known shopping streets in the world. Highly refined. Certainly a must-see for every tourist in Zurich!
The hill in the heart of the old town. A beautiful view of the city and one time location of a Roman fort.
Utoquai, Seefeldquai
Especially during summer, the lake is a beautiful place to spend the evening or the weekend. Starting from Bellevue, the boardwalk goes for about three kilometers along the lake towards Tiefenbrunnen. About halfway from Bellevue there is a meadow where you will find thousands of people on a sunny day.
Old Romanesque church, symbol of reformed Zurich, where reformer Huldrych Zwingli was appointed the people's priest in 1519. Go up the tower for a great view of Zurich, though the stairs can be quite small and steep.
Old Gothic church (former convent) with window paintings made by Marc Chagall. No photos or videos allowed inside.
A small canal that used to be part of the city fortifications between Limmat and Sihl. From the main station, go to Gessnerallee, find the stairways down to the tiny creek, and walk all the way to the lake.
