What people say

"Grossmünster is one of Zurich's most iconic landmarks, a majestic Romanesque-style church with a rich history dating back to the 12th century. Its twin towers dominate the city's skyline, offering breathtaking panoramic views from the top. Steeped in religious and cultural significance, Grossmünster played a pivotal role in the Swiss Reformation. Inside, visitors can admire stunning stained glass windows, intricate carvings, and a sense of timeless grandeur. Whether you're interested in history, architecture, or simply enjoying one of Zurich's best viewpoints, Grossmünster is a must-see attraction. "
"The "big cathedral" in town, this is where Huldrych Zwingli sparked the Reformation in German-Speaking Switzerland. The domes of the towers are symbols of Zürich. While there, check out the 1531 Zürich Bible & climb the 187 steps to the top of the Karlsturm (one of the church's twin towers), for an amazing view of the city. "
Hello SwitzerLanding
"Climb the Karlsturm tower inside the Grossmunster for spectacular views of downtown Zurich all the way to the lake. It costs CHF 5 and is open from around 10am to 4pm (check the link for exact times)."
