Tour description

Most visitors only see Zurich’s postcard side: the lake, the Old Town, the clean streets. But there’s another Zurich — raw, vibrant, multicultural — and that’s where I’ll take you. 

 

I’m training to become a professional tour guide, which means you’ll experience Langstrasse with someone bringing fresh energy and curiosity to every corner. This walk is not only about uncovering the secrets of Zurich’s most dynamic district — it’s also about sharing stories with passion, honesty, and heart. 


We’ll wander along Langstrasse and its hidden corners, where contrasts and stories collide: 

 

  • Helvetiaplatz & Volkshaus – the beating heart of Kreis 4, protests, markets, and community.
  • Kanzlei & Kino Xenix – flea markets, independent cinema, and a touch of counter-culture.
  • The Langstrasse strip – from red lights to neon nightlife, and how it’s changing today.
  • Street art & urban galleries – colorful walls that tell their own stories.
  • The hidden side streets 

 
📍 We’ll finish at Limmatplatz 

If you want a tour that’s different from the usual “main sights,” this is it. Langstrasse is where Zurich shows its real face — sometimes rough, always fascinating. 

 

And because I’m a tour guide in training, you’re not just booking a tour — you're part of my journey.  You’ll get the enthusiasm of someone who’s honing their craft while experiencing stories you won’t find in guidebooks. 

 

👉 So come join me, support a guide in training, and discover Zurich’s wild side together!
