Old Town of Zurich

The old town of Zurich is one of the most cozy and colorful places in the city, which is located between the Bahnhofstrasse and the Limmat River. In this place you can find old buildings of the XI century, painted walls and many flowers on the windows. It is interesting, but before the houses had no numbers, but had their own individual names, but the situation changed after the arrival of Napoleon's troops, who could not remember complex German words.

Here is the Cathedral of St. Peter with the largest dial in Europe and Fraumunster - the main churches of the city. In one of the alleys under the glass are hidden the remains of Roman baths.

For tourists, there are many elite shops with expensive brands and restaurants. Many antique and souvenir shops are located in one of the oldest districts of Zurich – in Shipsra. On the shore of the lake there is a beautiful Zurichhorn Park, which has a beach, picnic areas, cafes.
