Zurich: Top 10 List

As soon as I landed in Zurich I was amazed by the civilisation. It's rather a small town that you can see almost everything on foot in 2 days. So let's start our tour:

1) The richest shopping street and the longest street is Bahnofstrasse starts form the station and ends at the lake. By walking on this street you also reach Old Town: Alstad.



2) As you wonder in Old Town you pass the small bridges to cross one side to another. In the opposite side of Bahnofstrasse there are two iconic churches: Grossmünster and Fraumunster. Fraumunster has this stained glass made by Chagall in 9th century. Climb up in Grossmüster to reach the amazing view of Zurich.

3) Nierdorf and Nou Market: These are two amazing streets to wonder around and feel the Zurich sprit.

4) Kunstahaus: One of the best modern art museums in the world. Here you can spend at least 4hours without noticing.

5) Lindenhof: To have the view of the Old Town, Grossmünster, City Hall, Limmot River it's the best spot. It's worth the stairs!

6) Down from Lindenhof you reach Gaisse are where there is a huge garden that you can chill.

7) The lake of Zurich is very big and calming you can go to the dock Bürkliplatz to relax or to take a tour with the boat.
