From Innsbruck to Zurich

Through alpine regions to the rolling hills we reach Switzerland's largest City : Zurich.
The financial centre of Europe, its 383,500 inhabitants enjoy one of the highest standards of living anywhere.
Beautifully located at the end of Lake Zurich it is a city deserving a visit much longer than the one day we were able to give to it.

The romanesque style of the Protestant church "Grossmünster"
 imposes its powerful presence over the city.

St. Peter's Church boasts the largest clock face of any church in Europe




Along the Limmat river imposing structures line the shore.

The "Frauenmünster Church" and "St.Peter's Church" as seen from one of the many bridges crossing the Limmat.

Well, so much for Zurich. Just a little taste.
I hope it's enough to make you want to visit this interesting place.
