Historical Zürich: A Self-Guided Audio Tour Through the city of 1,000 Fountains
Things to know
About the Activity
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, on this self-guided audio tour you’ll discover just how well the description still fits! This walk begins on the Bahnhofstrasse, at the edge of the old town. I’ll lead you along cobblestone streets beside the Limmat River and show you where the Romans and Carolingians settled. We’ll end the tour firmly in the present day at Paradeplatz near Lake Zurich. The tour includes stories, facts and legends like: • Where Zurich’s wealth has come from for the last 2,000 from a Roman toll station to private banking • Medieval Zurich’s guild houses and the Craftsman Revolution • Charlemagne, his horse and a few headless saints • King Ludwig‘s daughters and a stag with glowing antlers • Two brothers different paths to success in the chocolate industry1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes
