"My foremost destination to the West " a Zürich Travel Page by csordila

The most typical words for Zurich: bustle, fizzing life. And like that, as if a wonderful postcard would have come true.
I did not see ever such a diverse, free, sparkling city.
To walk along Lake Zurich is like that, as if you would be on the seacoast, the panorama of Felsenegg cannot be compared with nothing else, and the Bahnhofstrasse though, as if I would be shopping in New York.
The overall picture is incredible!
However, the people are somehow cold, but they inquire about each other's health smiling very politely.
One more thing; the dialect!!!! Always seems to you, as if they would speak German, but you do understand no one word!!

The Romanesque and Baroque Church of St.Peter locates on one of the most beautiful places of Zurich in the middle of the Old Town on the West Bank of river Limmat, close by the ruins of a late Roman fortress at the Lindenhof.
Long ago, there used to be a fire guard who would keep watch from the tower and had to look in each of the four directions once every 15 minutes all day. You will enjoy a marvelous sight from the former fire warden room over the city and into the distance.
The tower clock originally was the official timekeeper and all public clocks of the city were adjusted to it.
It has the largest tower dial of Europe, its record-breaking outside diameter is 8.64 meters, the minute hand alone is almost 4 meters long . read more
