District 1, Zürich, Switzerland
District 1
District 1 puts Zürich’s old streets right in the middle of its daily rush. Trams pass Bahnhofstrasse’s shop windows, and the Limmat slips between the old-town lanes and the quays.

Grossmünster
Grossmünster in Zürich is the epitome of cool churches. With its towering twin spires and impressive Romanesque architecture, it's a feast for the eyes. Better yet, climb up the 187 steps to enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the city. Don't forget to admire the stunning stained glass windows and imagine the bold preaching of Ulrich Zwingli, the wild rebel preacher, who once called this place home.
