Sechseläuten (Sechseläuten) is an annual traditional spring celebration in Zurich, Switzerland, usually held on the third Monday of April. This festival marks the end of winter and the arrival of spring, and its history can be traced back to the 16th century. The core activity of the Sechseläuten is the burning of a snowman figure called "Böögg", which symbolizes winter. Böögg is placed on a pile of firewood and, after being lit, the time it takes for the snowman's head to explode is considered a traditional way of predicting the upcoming summer weather: the faster it burns, the better the summer will be. On the day of the festival, members of various guilds in Zurich dress in traditional costumes and participate in a grand parade that starts from the city center and eventually reaches the site of the burning of Böögg. In addition, the festival is accompanied by music, dance and rich food, and is an excellent opportunity to experience Zurich's culture and history.

SUNSHINE ONUS

The Cathedral of Zurich is one of the three main churches in Zurich, Switzerland, and is designed to incorporate a variety of architectural styles such as Romanesque, post-Gothic and neo-Gothic. Its most distinctive feature is the towering twin towers, which makes it also known as the &quot;Cathedral of Zurich Twin Towers&quot;. The interior of the church is simple and reflects the style of the 16th century Reformation. The church has stained glass windows created by Swiss modern art master Giacometti, whose artistic masterpieces are painted glass. In addition, the church&#39;s underground church and the seat of the Saints are older parts of the existing history, dating back to the late 11th century and early 12th century, and still can see traces of the frescoes on the decoration.

横竖是二温小迪

On the first day of landing in Zurich, it happened to be raining and came to visit the National Museum next to the train station. With the Swiss pass, you can get tickets for free, and the staff also gave a coin for the bag. The storage and toilet are on the basement floor, and the small trolley case should also be stored. The exhibits on the first floor of the Swiss Museum can also be guided in Chinese, and there is no Chinese guide on the second floor. The exhibits are not very interesting to me. The value of the museum is not bad, there are not many people, suitable for punching in and taking pictures. In addition, the gift shop gadgets are also very cute, that is, the price is not beautiful.

Bahnhof street is Zurich&#39;s most famous shopping street, luxurious and vibrant! It is full of top brand stores, fine cafes and century-old shops, and it is super stylish to stroll around. The streets are clean and elegant, and the trams shuttle between them, retro and modern. Although the price is high, the window appreciation and street shooting are great value! It is recommended to feel the exquisite life of Switzerland, remember to bring your wallet ～

Museum of Art (Kunsthaus Zurich)

Themed exhibition halls

The Zurich Art Museum is really conscientious. You can see paintings for free on Wednesdays, and storage is also free.

There are more works of famous painters in the new museum. If you don&rsquo;t have enough time, go directly to the new museum. You can see the works of famous painters such as Monet, Van Gogh, Renoir, Picasso, etc. here up close. It is really a super generous museum. I feel that there are a lot of Monet&#39;s paintings.

Fraumunster Church

Zurich&#39;s Frauenkirche is a must-visit landmark! The twin towers are very eye-catching, and the green spires are very photogenic. The interior of the church is simple and elegant, with beautiful stained windows and murals. You can also overlook the beautiful scenery of the whole city from the tower. The location is very convenient, right on the Limmat River, across the river from the cathedral opposite. It is free to visit, quiet and sacred, and suitable for daydreaming and taking photos. Don&#39;t miss it when you come to Zurich!
