Highlights
Solve a self-guided family walking quest through Zurich as Marcel, a curious 6-year-old in 1884. The clock at St. Peter's has stopped. A man with kind eyes and a violin asks for your help. He turns out to be Albert Einstein, years before he became famous. Use the Questo app on your phone to follow Einstein across 11 real Zurich landmarks: St. Peter's Church, Paradeplatz, the Fraumünster, Charlemagne's house, the Napfbrunnen, and the ETH university. Solve riddles, decode codes, and walk through Einstein's favorite thought experiments. Each chapter has its own puzzle and a piece of Zurich history, woven with Einstein's ideas about time, light, and relativity, made simple enough for a six-year-old. Start anytime, pause whenever, and pick up where you left off. Allow around 60 minutes for the full 1.6 km route through Old Town Zurich. Family friendly, perfect for parents and kids ages 6+, or anyone wanting Zurich through Einstein's eyes.

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.
Top-ranked sights in Zurich: Lucerne, Zurich Old Town (Altstadt), Lake Zurich (Zürichsee).
