Full description
This original tour takes you through the heart of Zurich’s Old Town and one of its top attractions, the famous Grossmünster. Entrance tickets are included for access to the cathedral, the crypts with the relics of Saints Felix and Regula, and the Charles Tower, which offers a panoramic view of Zurich, the Limmat River, and the distant Alps. Discover the icon of Zurich!

Book a private 2-hour tour of Zurich’s Old Town and Grossmünster. This iconic twin-towered church played a pivotal role in Swiss Reformation, making it one of Zurich’s most important historical monuments. Our Expert Guide will help you gain a better understanding of the impact of the Protestant Reformation on Zurich and beyond, along with the church’s continuing influence on Zurich’s cultural and spiritual life.

The serene cathedral boasts exquisite stained glass windows by Augusto Giacometti and Sigmar Polke and the crypt, dating back to the 11th century, which houses the tombs of Zurich’s patron saints, Felix and Regula. This exclusive experience also includes ascent to Karlstrum (Charles Tower) for breathtaking views of the Old Town, the Limmat River, and the surrounding Alps. It’s a must-see!

As an added bonus, your Private Guide will show you other historical churches of Zurich: the elegant Fraumünster Church in the medieval Münsterhof town square, and St Peter’s, the oldest parish church in Zurich with the largest church clock face in all of Europe. Don't miss out!
