From the square, we access the Lindenhof cellar, an underground space that preserves the remains of the Roman castrum and the medieval royal palace.

This site provides the perfect foundation for understanding Zurich’s stratified past and the origins of the city.

We walk down into the heart of the old town to reach the Thermengasse Roman baths.

Hidden beneath the modern street level, these ruins offer a rare glimpse into daily life in ancient Turicum, revealing how the Romans bathed, heated water, and structured public spaces nearly 2,000 years ago.

At the Fraumünster, we explore the outside of what was once one of the most influential women’s abbeys in Europe.

From the churchyard, we interpret the site’s many historical layers, including those uncovered in the crypt area—without entering the interior.

Wasserkirche: We descend into the crypt to visit the Martyr Stone, traditionally linked to Zurich’s patron saints Felix and Regula. The space also preserves structural remains from earlier church phases.

Ehgraben: A short walk brings us to this historic trench, where informative panels explain how medieval Zurich dealt with water supply, waste disposal, and urban hygiene.

We conclude the tour at the iconic Grossmünster, a landmark rich in legend, religion, and history.

This final stop brings together the threads of Zurich’s development—from Roman foundations to medieval power—and closes our journey through the city’s visible and hidden past.
