Welcome to my “In Zurich at home” Tour!
I will love to guide you through the most emblematic places of this wonderful city. Not only will we visit essential sites, but I will also share anecdotes and curiosities to give you a different view of the Hellenic country. All this while enjoying a 2 hour walk, where you can ask me what you want.
We will start at Paradeplatz, next to the Sprüngli confectionery, and we will walk through the historic center: the Fraumünster and its abbesses, the Grossmünster and the Reformation, the Cabaret Voltaire and Dadaism, the Church of St. Peter and its great clock, until we reach Lindenhof, Roman origin of Zurich.
We will discover charming corners, enjoy breathtaking views and meet fascinating legends that bring monuments to life. I will also talk about the curiosities of political life in Switzerland and share recommendations for your stay here.
Ready to start? Let's enjoy Zurich together!
