Augustinerkirche

This historic quarter is filled with medieval alleyways, Zurich’s finest churches, artisan’s shops and a hilltop featuring Roman ruins and sweeping city views.

This is one of the world’s most exclusive retail strips. Even if you can’t afford the price tags, it’s worth a browse for the window-shopping alone.

Visit Zürich’s famous blue-spired church to retrace the city’s spiritual past and admire breathtaking stained-glass windows created by the famed artist Marc Chagall.

Always receiving attention because it seems to float on a major river, this structure had two predecessors that succumbed to time and climate.

Sit back with a coffee and a chocolate from a world famous confectioner and watch the passing parade pass in Zurich’s prestigious financial center.

You can spend an afternoon studying the exhibits at James Joyce Foundation in Zürich. Stroll along the lakeside or visit the shops in this family-friendly area.
