This is the only street art tour in English offered in Zurich. Lacking perhaps in the social pertinence found in street art in cities like Chicago or Lisbon, there is a great deal of superior work to be seen in the streets of Zurich.

Queen had a recording studio in Montreux so no surprises that there is a statue on Lake Geneva to Freddie Mercury which is also the cover of their last album after he died. Just along the waterfront so get along and watch people leave flowers and love notes to the man himself!!
