Zurich Old Town Walking Tour

What do Einstein, James Joyce and Wagner have in common? All three were residents of Zurich. But it´s not only great minds who are captivated by this lakeside city with its well-preserved old town - people from all over the world have always flocked to the thriving metropolis.

On a two-hour walk through the old town, we go searching for clues to the city´s past in its hidden alleyways and picturesque squares. Together, we uncover the secrets of Bahnhofstrasse, find out what a "procession axis" is, and visit a church with a minute-hand that jumps a record-breaking half meter every minute.

This popular tour is filled with numerous astonishing and amusing anecdotes and has plenty to offer both visitors and locals alike.

From November 23 to December 24, 2023 the Christmas illuminations along the Bahnhofstrasse and the picturesque Christmas markets give rise to a festive mood in Zurich. During the Advent period, the city walking tour is supplemented with insights into their history.
