Altstadtkirchen Zürich

Follow organizer

Raising the curtain on the old town churches: Grossmünster, Fraumünster and St. Peter are among Zurich's landmarks. They welcome hundreds of thousands from all over the world every year. For a tour of the churches, for quiet contemplation, but also for top-class concerts of old and new music. In addition, more than 60 public tours take place every year: experience the famous Chagall windows, climb high up to St. Peter's and explore over a thousand years of city and church history in the heart of Zurich.
