Tour description

Would you like to discover Zurich from a perspective that combines the essential with the unexpected?

This walking tour will take you from the city's financial heart to its secret alleyways, medieval legends, hidden street art, and unforgettable views.

This isn't your typical tour: it's an experience that blends history, art, local anecdotes, and undiscovered spots. Perfect if you're looking for the essentials... with an unexpected twist.

What will we see?

  • We will start at Paradeplatz , between benches and chocolates.
  • We will walk along the elegant Bahnhofstrasse until we reach Chagall's stained-glass windows in Fraumünster .
  • We will get lost in the colorful alleys of Augustinergasse
  • We will pass by St. Peter 's Church, with the largest clock in Europe, to explore the charming Niederdorf neighborhood.
  • We'll discover hidden street art in Neumarkt , where the city reveals its most creative side.
  • And as a grand finale, we'll take the historic Polybahn —a century-old funicular—up to the terrace of ETH Zurich (where Einstein studied!), with a view that will leave you speechless. From there, you can stay for a coffee or continue exploring on your own.

Book now and join me for a Zurich experience that blends tradition, surprises, and a whole lot of travel!

*We'll compare the funicular tickets on the spot. The price is approximately 4 CHF.
