About Zúrich

Zúrich, la mayor ciudad de Suiza, junto a un lago claro con vistas alpinas, casco medieval y el cabaré donde nació el dadaísmo.

El casco antiguo se extiende por ambas orillas del río Limmat, con callejones estrechos, casas gremiales y torres de iglesias. Las torres gemelas del Grossmünster son el emblema de la ciudad, el Fraumünster tiene vidrieras de Chagall, y la iglesia de San Pedro tiene una de las esferas de reloj más grandes de Europa. La colina del Lindenhof ofrece una vista tranquila sobre los tejados.
