Hi! My name is Marco, I'm a student at ETH Zurich. I am Italian, but I've been living in this city since 2018! I love traveling and discovering new cities! The history, the culture, the food! I always loved walking tours, they let you discover the city in a unique way, that you cannot find anywhere else!
Walking for the first time through the streets of a city, you pass by many monuments, churches, and buildings that are the remnants of a story that is long gone.
Zürich, despite being a small city, has a beautiful and interesting history, mostly unknown even to the population.
During this tour, I will share with you the history of Zürich, from the first settlements to the city we see today, by walking together through the city center.
We will start in Bellevue, near the lake, where were located the first settlements of Zürich. Walking along the river, we will move towards Lindenhof, an ancient Roman outpost, called Turicum, that gave name to today's Zürich.
Coming down from Lindenhof, we will visit the small street of Strehlgasse and stop by the most important churches of Zürich: St. Peter, Fraumüster, and Grossmünster.
We will talk about the heroes of Zürich and how they shaped the city and the country.
Such us Zwingli and his religious reformation: did you know that everything started from a sausage?
We will conclude the tour at the main station (HB Zürich).
I'll wait for you at Bürkliplatz, on the corner by the lake, towards Bellevue. I'll bring a black umbrella.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
