Visit of the old town, its narrow and picturesque streets. You can climb the stairs of one of the two towers of Grossmünster Cathedral to discover a breathtaking view of the city and the lake (to avoid for people prone to vertigo). Always on the right bank, do not miss the Neumarkt, the Spiegelgasse and other treasures of the medieval district. After lunch in one of the restaurants on Niederhofstrasse, you can walk along the left bank of the Limmat along the Wühre, then take a walk through the Bahnhofstrasse luxury shopping district with a break at Café Sprüngli for a delicious snack. Afterwards, you can visit the Swiss National Museum and discover Swiss history and culture before relaxing on the benches of the pleasant wooded park of Platzspitz. After dinner, go to the Q club in the trendy Zürich-West district for a live concert or house music.
