Zurich, at the northern end of Lake Zurich, is both traditional and trendy. With the charm of an old town quarter and buzz of a modern city, it’s full of fascinating sights: the River Limmat with its promenade and quays; the Romanesque-style Grossmünster Protestant Church; Fraumünster Abbey with its stained glass windows; the medieval Rathaus (town hall); the Lindenhof, historic site of a Roman castle; Paradeplatz, synonymous with banking; Bahnhofstrasse, world famous for chic shopping and Niederdorf, the quirky old town quarter. Not to mention the Swiss National (Landes) Museum, Congress Centre, Playhouse, Museum for Modern Art, Opera House, the Prime Tower–Switzerland’s tallest skyscraper (126 m), the Chinese Garden and much more.
