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.
