Overview

Soak in the quiet of Rechberggarten, a hidden gem right in the bustling city center. Walk the cobblestone paths of Niederdorf and find out why its affectionately called "Dorfli" by the locals. Which iconic landmark has a legend involving the graves of patron saints? Which famous street was once called "Ditch of the frogs?" See testaments to Zurich's reputation as a financial powerhouse on the Bahnhofstrasse. At Lindenhof, visit a hill where armed women once took a stand against an invading army.
