Zürich is Switzerland’s “kleintropolis“. That is what Max Frisch, a native author and architect, called this place: a small metropolis. Even though the city has grown substantially since Max’s time, on this self-guided audio tour you’ll discover just how well the description still fits! This walk begins on the Bahnhofstrasse, at the edge of the old town. I’ll lead you along cobblestone streets beside the Limmat River and show you where the Romans and Carolingians settled. We’ll end the tour firmly in the present day at Paradeplatz near Lake Zurich. The tour includes stories, facts and legends like: • Where Zurich’s wealth has come from for the last 2,000 from a Roman toll station to private banking • Medieval Zurich’s guild houses and the Craftsman Revolution • Charlemagne, his horse and a few headless saints • King Ludwig‘s daughters and a stag with glowing antlers • Two brothers different paths to success in the chocolate industry

    Flawless software. Tour was solid. A great intro to Zurich and I will use this in other cities! Only thing missing was someone to answer my dumb questions… ???? what’s that? How is is this? Haha

    What a great way to see the sights at your own pace! I loved the GPS activated tour. Just walk and listen. No crowds, no fast pace. Wish I found this earlier for other cities!

    Superb tour. Ideal if you want to go at your own pace and travelling alone. I had some time to kill before my flights after my business trip. Very informative. The app is superb. You don’t have to have your phone out all the time. It picks up where you are and starts talking. Very impressed
