The Swiss National Museum is located in the heart of the city of Zürich, right across the street from the Main Railway Station. The museum houses the largest cultural-historical collection of objects in the country. The museum building is over 100 years old and reminds one of a fairytale castle. History comes alive behind its thick walls. How did past generations live, think and feel? The material heritage they left behind – from handicrafts to mundane everyday objects – provides us with answers, from prehistoric times to the present. The Swiss National Museum also addresses socially relevant topics using special exhibits and offers temporary changes of perspective.

Swiss sculptor Richard Kissling created this bronze statue in 1889 in honor of Alfred Escher, a renowned Zürich politician and entrepreneur. It stands above a fountain hewn from red-brown granite.
Visionary Alfred Escher founded one of Switzerland’s two large banks and three of its largest insurance companies to finance and insure the Gotthard railway line and tunnel, among other things. Because there were not enough engineers available for the construction, he also co-founded the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.

Augustinergasse is one of Zürich’s most beautiful old, narrow streets with its many colorfully painted oriel windows. Among other things, the oriels were a way to keep an eye on who came to the door and so they were never situated directly over the front door, but rather built just to the side.
Augustinergasse connects bustling Bahnhofstrasse with the St. Peterhofstatt “oasis” in the picturesque Old Town.

The Augustiner Church was built in 1270 by the Hermits of Augustine near the "Kezistürli" by the western city wall. With the advent of the Reformation, the church was transformed into a wine cellar and then into the workshop and living quarters for the master coiner. It was only in 1841 that Zürich’s Catholics reclaimed the "old wine cellar" as a house of worship. The greater part of the Catholic community objected to the dogmas (infallibility of the Pope) proclaimed during the 1st Vatican Council of 1870 and were excommunicated from the Church. In 1873, they regrouped and the Augustiner Church became their place of worship. It was last renovated in 1958/59. Points of interest include the simply designed choir area, the crucifixion group, the altar and the font, designed by Franz Fischer, and the glass paintings by August Wanner (1965). The memorial slab to the knight Vigilius Gradner, the Christophorus fresco (in the side aisles) and fragments of murals in the sacristy are also worth seeing.

The Romans were here. Then came Goethe, Nietzsche and Dürrenmatt to top up their energy levels in 47 ºC/116.6 ºF thermal waters. These gush forth from 18 springs and made this small town on the Limmat a lively resort. Nowadays, Baden offers a wide variety of attractions in well-tended urban green spaces, as well as international culture festivals, a diverse theatrical scene, relaxing wellness oases, and the Grand Casino.
And it’s all just 15 minutes away from Zürich City.
