Overview

Discover the pulsating heart of Zurich, a city built on fascinating contradictions. From the quiet, old cobblestones of Lindenhof to the gleaming, billion-dollar vaults at Paradeplatz, this Red Thread Tour shows you how a strict Protestant work ethic created a global financial empire. You follow the Limmat through time and stand where martyrs lost their heads, where a radical monk ignited a religious revolution, and where the Dadaists declared war on meaning itself. Come with me and decipher the duality of a city that is simultaneously strict and opulent, disciplined and wildly rebellious.
