There are the picturesque towns of the old town, Altstadt and the waterfront promenades like the Limmatquai which line the river. There are also many historical buildings like the seventeenth-century town hall (Rathaus) or the twelfth-century cathedral (Grossmunster). The Museum of Art holds pieces from the 1200s and features works by symbolists Ferdinand Hodler, romantics such as Henry Fuseli and contemporary artists like Rist and Fischli. 

The city lies just at the north end of Lake Zurich, which is a big feature in the city's landscape. The city is situated in the northern half of Switzerland and has direct train links to Adlisberg, Uetliberg and Kaferberg mountain ranges, making it the perfect destination to enjoy city life with the ability to escape to the fresh air peaks any time you choose.
