About Zurich

Zurich is Switzerland's largest city, set at the head of a clear lake with Alpine views, a medieval old town and the cabaret where Dada was born.

The Old Town spreads along both banks of the Limmat River, with narrow lanes, guild houses and church spires. The twin towers of the Grossmünster are the city's landmark, the Fraumünster has stained-glass windows by Chagall, and St Peter's Church has one of the largest clock faces in Europe. Lindenhof hill gives a peaceful view over the rooftops.
