Zurich

The quays along the banks of the River Limmat and Lake Zurich with their magnificent expanse of greenery and a host of small boats beckon invitingly. A little further on, from the Mythenquai, there is a panoramic view of the Lake and the Alps.

The Grossmunster (Cathedral) is a symbol of Reform in Alemanic Switzerland.

Built in the 11 and 13C, supposedly on the site of a collegiate church founded by Charlemagne, this imposing cathedral was the cure of Zwingli who preached here from 1519 until he died. Around the façade there are two high towers topped with wooden cupolas covered with sheets of metal. The southern tower is decorated with a huge statue of Charlemagne (the original is in the crypt). The modern stained-glass windows are by Alberto Giacometti (1932).

Open mid-March to end October 9am-6pm; rest of year 10am-5pm.

Kolsch is not only the dialect spoken here but, also the name of their own top-fermented beer. There are more than 4,000 pubs, restaurant's and brewery taverns in Cologne.

Unlike many of the world's large cities, Cologne, with a population of over a million, gets better every day, there are more things to do and see, more new and innovative buildings... more
