Zurich Old Town Self Guided Tour of Saints and Sausages

معرفی

Somewhere in this old town, a printer served sausage during Lent and accidentally launched a revolution. A princess was offered a kingdom and chose a convent instead, then used it to rule the city for five centuries. And two saints were beheaded by the Romans, picked up their own heads, and walked away. This self guided audio tour takes you through seventeen stops across Zurich's old town, from Roman bathhouse ruins hidden beneath a toy shop to the financial square that was once a swine market. Stand on the hilltop where women in armor bluffed an army into retreat. See Chagall's stained glass at Fraumünster. Learn why Swiss clocks pause for exactly one second, and end with fondue rules, chocolate history, and the Luxemburgerli. Over 20,000 travelers have used our self guided tours. Download the app, follow the map at your own pace, and pause whenever you like. The tour comes with a full refund guarantee.
