Discover Zurich with little-known stories and curiosities at every turn. Though your guide will address (among others) some heavy topics, they are delivered with lightheartedness, so we're able to stay thoughtful, draw lessons, and keep the mood lively. The accompanying mindset is "There is much beauty here, because there is much beauty everywhere." (Rilke) Note: Please bring comfortable footwear.
