Charles Tower

The two towers of one of Zurich’s foremost churches have become an iconic image of the city.

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

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.

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.

Spot works from the 15th century onward and pieces by Matisse, Picasso and Rembrandt, among other greats at one of Switzerland’s most significant art museums.

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.
