Overview

Zurich has a beautiful, historic old town. Many of the buildings are several hundred years old. In small groups, local residents will guide you for about two hours through winding alleys and cosy squares, right across the old town on both sides of the Limmat river. We will visit places where you can feel the rich history of the city and which can only be reached via special access.
