The Niederdorf Quarter is part of Zurich’s old historic centre. Locals affectionately refer to it as ‘Dörfli’, or little village, and often mean the entire district of Niederdorf and Oberdorf extending to Bellevue. Like the Limmatquai road that runs parallel to it, the Niederdorf is closed to vehicles. During the day, the many shops tucked away in the alleyways of this pedestrian zone are a temptation inviting you to come shopping. Come the evening, Niederdorf is transformed into an entertainment district whose bars and pubs are filled with a colourful mix of visitors of all kinds. At the end of August there is the popular ‘Dörflifäscht’, or village festival, featuring DJs, market stalls, tasty treats to eat, shows and attractions.

The world-renowned shopping boulevard was created after the construction of Zurich’s main railway station. At the point where city moats once were 150 years ago, nowadays it connects Lake Zurich with the main railway station, extending for a distance of 1.4 km. You will find numerous boutiques, department stores and watchmakers here and also the Paradeplatz – the Swiss banking centre. Bahnhofstrasse is popular with locals and visitors alike and is well worth a visit. You can take a relaxing stroll along the lake front in the summer or, come winter-time, enjoy the mulled wine or hot chocolate on offer at practically every street corner. From the Bahnhofstrasse, the Rennweg and the Augustinergasse will lead you to the picturesque historic centre of the city.

The Grossmünster is an iconic Zurich landmark. Legend has it that the church was built over the graves of the city's patron saints, Felix and Regula.

Lindenhof hill has witnessed many historic and historical events. In the 4th century a Roman fort stood on Lindenhof. In the 9th century the grandson of Charlemagne built a royal palace as a place of residence on the very same site. This area continued to be a gathering place for Zurich’s inhabitants right up to the beginning of the modern era. For example, the oath sealing the Helvetic Constitution was taken on Lindenhof in 1798.

At Zurich Zoo you can see snow leopards in a rocky Himalayan environment, spectacled bears climbing in their mountainous cloud forest and primeval giant tortoises looking for food in the Masoala rain forest. It is a fragrant tropical oasis, a piece of Madagascar covering 11,000 square metres with a tree-top walk where you can discover flying foxes and butterflies.

More than one hundred years old, the museum building resembles a fairy-tale castle. Behind its imposing walls the past comes to life. How did previous generations live, think and feel? The material heritage they left behind – handicrafts and mundane everyday objects – provides us with the answers, from prehistoric times to the present.
