What to do and see in Zurich, Canton of Zurich: The Best Architectural Buildings
The largest city in Switzerland is a major contemporary art and shopping destination. Important artworks are displayed in the Kunsthaus and the Rietberg Museum, while those who consider shopping an art can hone their skills along Bahnhofstrasse and Niederdorf. Chagall's stained glass windows in the Fraumunster amaze and Zurich's 500 clubs and bars, including several in swimming pools, pulse with life 'til the early hours. This city on Lake Zurich has excellent public transit and a free bike rental system.

This prominent 13th-century Gothic cathedral is perhaps best known for one of its more recent additions, stained-glass windows designed by Marc Chagall in the 1970s.

During a visit visit to Zurich, my husband and I visited the Fraumunster Church just after it opened at 12pm on a Sunday afternoon. The line to enter was out the door, but it did move quickly. The entrance fee of CHF 5/pp entitles you to entry as well as your choice of an audio guide or brochure. We'd highly recommend the audio guide which gives you a lot of information on each section of the church, a chance to "hear" the organ being played, a sample sermon, etc. Although the church is mostly very plainly adorned, the Chagall windows are stunning and worth the visit alone. We listened to the entire audio guide and visited the crypt museum beneath the church and spent about 1.5 hours here.

One of the oldest churches in the city, this cathedral is best known for having the largest clock face in Europe.
Reviewed By yns_10 - Sydney, Australia
This is the city's oldest parish church. The enormous clock face is the continent's largest and its spire dominates the skyline. The interior is simple, in keeping with a reformation church.

To us, MCM enthusiasts, this is the hidden jewel of Zurich. It’s unexpected and beautiful. Even though we live here, I’m still amazed every time I come upon the house. The location next to the lake is amazing and there is a great playground literally next door for those with kids. The inside tour is self guided and it’s a joy to discover the nooks and crannies on your own. To most it’s probably just a colorful modern house but to the right audience, it’s breathtaking. We bought a museum pass mostly because we want to visit the LC house multiple times.
