Check many shops with watches, glasses, try cheese and chocolate and voila- you saw everything in here"

  "I believe Zurich is the most visited Swiss city by tourists, with a prosperous daytime environment and a different flavor at night. There are many restaurants and taverns in the city, offering exquisite cuisine from all over the world."

  Highlights: Zurich is a very modern city, but the old town in the center is well preserved and you can still get a glimpse of the medieval European town. There are many elegant and beautiful ancient buildings on both sides of the cobblestone paved stone road in the old city, and the whole city is filled with nostalgic and retro atmosphere. Standing on the banks of the Limmat River, you can see the three main landmarks in the old town at a glance: the Cathedral, St. Peter's Church and the Church of Our Lady. In addition to the quaint appearance, most of the old buildings in the old city have been converted into trendy restaurants and bars, which are very popular with tourists. In addition, there are a number of quirky but decently priced hotels in the Old Town. Personality cafes, bookstores, gift shops, etc. also abound, you can visit here in depth.

  "Zurich Cathedral This cathedral covers a large area and can accommodate about 300 people at the same time. It is also very beautiful to take pictures here. When I went there, no one visited there for a long time. And there are foxes and pigeons outside, it feels particularly romantic"

  Highlights: The Zurich Cathedral stands on the banks of the Limmat River, reflecting the Frauenkirche. Its unique twin towers have become a symbol of Zurich, blending Romanesque, Post-Gothic and Neo-Gothic architectural styles. The founder of the Zurich Cathedral is the famous Karl the Great. After the restoration in the 11th-13th centuries, you can see the seated statue of Karl the Great with a sword on the south tower, but this is a replica, and the real one is collected in the St. inside the hall. The underground chapel and the choir seats are the oldest existing parts of the church, dating back to the late 11th and early 12th centuries, and traces of frescoes on the decoration can still be seen today. During the Reformation movement in the 16th century, the religious reformer Huldrych Zwingli gave a speech here, calling on people to "work without forgetting prayer".

  "Suning is the Church of the Virgin Mary. This church is still a relatively famous church in the local area. It covers a very large area. From the appearance, it is very beautiful and very solemn. Sometimes it is open for business. You can visit a more sacred place."

  Highlights: The Notre Dame Church stands on the west bank of the Limmat River. The green spire is very eye-catching, and the stained glass windows designed by the famous painter Marc Chagall are also very iconic. The Church of Our Lady was built in the middle of the 9th century. The Germanic King Rudolf II built it in the name of a women's monastery. It was rebuilt in Gothic style in the 12th-15th centuries, and the bell tower was built after 1732. In addition to the iconic green spire, the interior of the Church of Our Lady is not to be missed. On the left side of the church entrance, you will see an elegant stained glass that is different from other churches. This is a work by Marc Chagall in 1970, which depicts Christ with a unique brushstroke. The glass on the north promenade on the right side of the entrance is by Giacometti. The fresco decoration of the cloister on the south side is a hand-painted work by Paul Podma on the theme of the founding of the church.

  "On the west side of the Limat River, Banhof Street is lit in blue moments. Inside, the snow-capped mountains and lakes are outside, and the light at the end leads to Lake Zurich. After a first winter, I saw the swans and treasures~ The warm winter of the 2221s and 1920s was quiet in Zurich to welcome the new year."

  Highlights: The Limmat River traverses the city of Zurich, leads from the northern end of Lake Zurich, and then flows through the center of Zurich, dividing Zurich into new and old towns, and then empties into the Aare River. The banks of the Limmat River are a good place to enjoy the scenery. With the light of the water and the sky, the buildings on the riverside can reflect a different kind of beauty. The famous Church of Our Lady stands on the west bank of the Limmat River, and the Gross Cathedral on the east bank is famous for its unique "pepper shaker" tower. Even more pleasing. In addition to the buildings, the swans on the Limmat River are also a beautiful landscape. You may wish to stroll along the river, admire the exquisite buildings on the shore, watch the leisurely water birds on the lake, and enjoy a pleasant time. From April to October every year, public boats travel around the Limmat River, starting from the National Museum near the train station, and the journey takes about 55 minutes, with departures every half an hour.
