Overview
Zurich's historic core stretches along both banks of the Limmat River, with medieval alleys, guild houses, and Baroque churches well preserved. Highlights include the Grossmünster cathedral and Fraumünster church (famous for its Chagall stained-glass windows), while Bahnhofstrasse is one of the world's most exclusive shopping streets. The Lindenhof hill offers a lovely view over the Old Town toward the Alps.
Travel Tips
Don't miss the Chagall stained glass at Fraumünster. The Lindenhof hill is a free viewpoint worth visiting.
