"From Roman times through the ninth-century Carolingian era, forts and strategic buildings previously stood on this bluff. In the early 13th century, Zürich became a free city of the Holy Roman Empire, and became self-ruling. As a result the townspeople destroyed the previously existing fort and established a law prohibiting any new construction to happen here. "

"Before dinner, head to Lindenhof, a hill in the heart of the city that offers panoramic views of Zürich's skyline, the river, and the surrounding hills. It’s a great spot to unwind and watch the sunset. The historical significance of this location, once a Roman fortress, adds an extra layer to the experience"

"Open 24 hours, this is a historical landmark that offers a top view of the Zurich cityscape. It used to be the site of a 4th century Roman Fort and it became the Charlemagne Fort in the 19th century. Many opportunities for photos here."
