City Guide  - Zurich  - Sightseeing
Sightseeing

Most of Zurich's sights lie within the compact area on either side of the River Limmat, between the Hauptbahnhof and Lake Zurich. The churches and burgher houses of the Old Town are clustered here, as are the elegant shops along Bahnhofstrasse. The Baroque Rathaus (Town Hall) and Zurich's most impressive churches - the Grossmünster, Fraumünster and St Peterskirche (the city's oldest; its clock face is the largest in Europe) - lie within a short distance of the River Limmat, near where it opens on to the lake.
