Useful tips

  • Don't miss the twin-tower silhouette from across the river.
  • It's easy to combine with a walk to Fraumünster and Niederdorf.
  • As you plan your route, Grossmünster's official description as a key Reformation site makes it feel more natural to see the church interior together with the surrounding Old Town, rather than treating it as a simple viewpoint.
  • If you want to photograph the twin towers before going in, it's easiest to view the exterior from the west side of the Limmat River and then cross the bridge. Inside, check the guidance signs and worship areas first.

Frequently asked questions

What should I check first when visiting the inside of Grossmünster?

The official information says the church is open free of charge for visits and quiet contemplation, but also advises checking special opening hours before you go. On days with services or events, it's better to adjust your sightseeing route.
