Switzerland Trip Dec 2016 Day 7 Part 2 ~ Lindenhof, St Peter Church, Fraumünster, Grossmünster

After we off-loaded our bags in the hotel, we set off to explore around the Old Town of Zurich!

The street right outside of Hote Marta. 


Walking towards where the river is.


Swan swimming in River Limmat.


River Limmat is where the Old Town is located on both sides of the river.




Not just one swan! Quite a number of them actually.



The locks are common not just in Asia!



Someone act hero claimed not cold and refused to wear the jacket.




Could snap photos of Fraumünster and Grossmünster from across the river.







So many of them!


Then, we walked towards our first stop!







Pretty grass patch where we could get a top view of the Old Town on the way to Lindenhof.




Not as nice view due to the roof lol.





But since climbed up already then still must take photos haha.




Finally arrived at Lindenhof~





Oh the view!





Spammed lots of photos there since it took us quite some energy to get there!



Then we left for our second stop!
Me with my Miji~ Spend a lot of time and effort on this everytime we go on holidays haha.


Can see our second stop from there! St. Peter Church.



Some interesting shops on the way to the church.



Here we are!



St. Peter is one of the four main churches of the old town of Zürich, Switzerland, besides Grossmünster, Fraumünster and Predigerkirche.


Big clock tower.
 This clock tower of St. Peter was for centuries Zürich's 'official local time', and all public city clocks had to conform to it. The church clock of St. Peter has the largest tower clock face in Europe.





Walking around the Old Town area after St Peter Church.


Prettily packaged chocolates!








Lots of boutique chocolatiers!




Customers picking out chocolate truffles.





And shortly, we reached the second church, Fraumünster.




Water fountain can be found everywhere around Switzerland! Switzerland cost of living is high but potable water is readily available. Perfect for me haha.





Water fountain only, also take so many photos LOL!










Went closer to take a look.




Visitors are able to visit, however, we were too late to catch the last admission at 4pm. So we walked towards our last attraction.





Grossmünster. The third main churches of Zurich.









Close up photo of Grossmünster.



CD shop!




Christmas tree!

Mini Christmas market~





And we left this area and walked towards the Opera House. To be continued in the next post!
