About Zürich

Zürich, größte Stadt der Schweiz, am klaren See mit Alpenblick, mittelalterlicher Altstadt und dem Kabarett, in dem Dada geboren wurde.

Die Altstadt erstreckt sich an beiden Ufern der Limmat, mit engen Gassen, Zunfthäusern und Kirchtürmen. Die Zwillingstürme des Grossmünsters sind das Wahrzeichen der Stadt, das Fraumünster hat Glasfenster von Chagall, und die Kirche St. Peter besitzt eines der größten Zifferblätter Europas. Der Lindenhof bietet einen friedlichen Blick über die Dächer.
