Sightseeing Overview

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), Zurich's most impressive churches - the Grossmünster, Fraumünster - and the city's oldest, St Peterskirche (its clock face is the largest in Europe), all lie within a short distance of the River Limmat, near the point at which it opens onto the lake.
