What to do and see in Zurich, Canton of Zurich: The Best Literary, Art & Music Tours

December 3, 2021 Toi Mattera

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.

Maria is great and customized the tour to meet my needs. She met me outside my hotel and we toured all over the city. I enjoyed learning about and seeing locations in the city that I wouldn’t have otherwise. Maria is very friendly and knowledgeable and made the tour worthwhile and fun!

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.
