when travelling around Zurich you'll undoubtedly come across the old town streets connected together with cobblestones and century old buildings. Niederdorf is worth the walk along seeing the shops for any souvenirs you may like as well as different knick-knacks, jewellery, clothing, etc. name it you'll find it. While walking both sides of the limmat river be sure to check out the famous churches and cathedrals Grossmunster, St. Peters Church and Fraumunster Church. 

Lively Niederdorf, part of the old town, is known for its medieval streets and squares, cathedrals like the Romanesque Grossmünster, and Limmatquai promenade, with views of Lake Zurich. Musée Visionnaire shows Art Brut paintings, while Cabaret Voltaire is an offbeat arts center for events and installations. Upscale boutiques and fine-dining restaurants dot the area, alongside cocktail bars and a few nightclubs.
