They call it the old town because this is where everything started – the Romans had a military base here; trade was what made the town. For a succinct view of Zurich, its place in Switzerland and how it all fits together, join me on this walk about the historical old town.

It will take about 1½ hrs. Come equipped for walking, bring a bottle if it’s hot – you can refill at any public fountain. And the view from the Lindenhof is worth a postcard home!
