Overview

The most popular tour through Zurich´s historic old town offers fascinating insights into the city´s colorful history. 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.

  • Bahnhofstrasse (Pass By)

    You can find everything that your heart desires in Bahnhofstrasse: fashion, art and Zurich specialties attract local residents as well as visitors.

  • Fraumunster Church (Pass By)

    Fraumünster – a Church in the Old Town With Windows by Chagall and Giacometti

  • Niederdorf

    Niederdorf is part of Zurich's old town – and the locals fondly refer to it as "Dörfli", meaning the entire Niederdorf and Oberdorf area that extends as far as Bellevue. Niederdorf is a pedestrian zone the same as Limmatquai, which runs parallel. During the day, the pedestrian zone and many stores, which are almost hidden in alleyways, entice you to shop. In the evening, Niederdorf changes into a nightlife district for a very varied public with its bars and street artists.

    1 hour

  • Grossmunster (Pass By)

    The Grossmünster church is a landmark of Zurich. Legend has it that the church was built on the graves of the city's patron saints, Felix and Regula.

Great Walking Tour of Zurich

Published on Jan, 2025

While visiting Zurich, my friends and I decided to do a walking tour of Old Town. I'd booked through Viator before when I was in Antwerp and really enjoyed that walking tour, so I was confident this would be just as good. We weren't disappointed. We had Alla as our guide and we got to places I would never have gone on our own, and learned a lot about the history of Zurich. Would highly recommend. The guides are great!
