Zurich Altstadt
Also known as Altstadt
FreeCosts nothing to visit.
Zurich’s Altstadt (Old Town) straddles both sides of the Limmat River, with medieval guild houses, churches, and narrow lanes. Free to walk. The Grossmunster (free entry) and the Fraumunster (Chagall stained glass windows, modest fee) face each other across the river. The Lindenhof viewpoint (free) offers views over the river and the old town. Budget travelers in Switzerland’s most expensive city find that walking the old town costs nothing.
