The city of Zurich is the most populous and one of the most important in Switzerland, whose capital is Bern. Here are the top thing you must see in the city:
1.Bahnhofstraße
Zurich is a very fine city and has one of the most expensive and exclusive shopping malls in the world, the famous Bahnhofstraße. In 2011, a study named the street as the most expensive in Europe to have a store and the third most expensive in the world. In this street you can find shops of luxury objects, watches, jewelry, designer brands and chocolates.
2. Grossmünster
Great minister in English, this construction built between year 1100 and 1200 is a Romanesque-style Protestant church and has a lookout not to be missed.
3. Fraumünster
“Lady of the minister”, this church has five large stained glass windows by Marc Chagall installed in 1970, so it should preferably be visited in the morning, as the sunlight will enter the church with greater intensity, displaying an impressive mosaic of colors.
4. St. Peterskirche
St. Peter’s church in English, whose face clock is 8.7 meters in diameter, consecrated as the largest clock in a church in Europe.
