Activity itinerary

Grabstein Lucius (Archäologisches Fenster)

Today, the original can be seen at the Landesmuseum Zürich, while a faithful reproduction of the inscription is displayed here, near the archaeological exhibit at Lindenhof, making it accessible for public education.

Christkatholische Kirche Basel-stadt (Pass by)

Thge tour starts in front of the historic Christkatholische Augustinerkirche where you'll hear the church and the area's history then be guided step by step through Zurich.

Klima-Zwingli Statue

Who is Klima-Zwingli? Discover this hidden gem and hear his historic storey.

Zeughauskeller

Historic restaurant with a historic storey.

Junobrunnen

Junobrunnen’s inauguration in 1872 represented more than just the unveiling of a fountain; it symbolised Zurich’s wider push for civic renewal during a transformative century.

Fraumunster Church

Beyond its historic governance role, Fraumünster Church is renowned for its evolving architecture and artistic treasures. Its foundations date back to the 9th century, showing Romanesque roots that evolved into a primarily Gothic style over time.

Hans Waldmann Statue

Waldmann’s rapid rise in his career quickly unraveled as accusations against him grew. His acceptance of pensions from foreign rulers, including the Duke of Milan and Louis XI of France, was seen as a betrayal of Swiss independence, which diminished public support.

Ganymede

The unveiling of the Ganymede sculpture in 1952 held historical significance well beyond its classical subject. Discover the statue's storey on the tour.

Ulrich Zwingli Monument

The Wasserkirche in Zürich stands out as one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks, celebrated for its unique location, rich history, and important role in religious and cultural life.

Grossmunster (Pass by)

Not to be missed, this church as a big storey, learn it on the tour.

Stussibrunnen

Situated at Rindermarkt in the old town, the fountain was built in 1911 by architect Hermann Fietz to commemorate Stüssi, who defended Zurich during the Old Zürich War from 1440 to 1446 and was killed in battle at the Sihl Bridge in 1443.

David Brunnen

In Zürich's evolving history, David Brunnen plays a significant role, serving as more than just decorative architecture; it’s a lasting symbol of the city’s cultural shifts. Located in Weinplatz, once a bustling medieval market, the fountain represented a 19th-century effort to honour community heritage as modern infrastructure transformed the city.

Brunnenfigur Jugend als Bewahrer der Welt - Vom Kunstler Heinz Feuerborn

The tour ends at a lookout of the city and the statue Brunnenfigur. It's a bit of a hidden site and not to be missed.
