Situated in the place where the Reuss leaves the lake, this covered wooden bridge was entirely rebuilt after a fire in 1993. Dating back to the 14C, and flanked with a large octagonal tower, it used to protet the lake side of the town. It was decorated with 100 paintings on wood by Hans Heinrich W?gmann in the 17C; copies of the old paintings have replaced the originals.

Terraced above the river and dominated by the belfry towers, the church and the old castle, the Old Town's narrow streets contain fine houses, some decorated with oriels, wrought iron signs whose style is a reminder of the long Berne domination. Some façades are covered in frescos.

In an attractive green setting, Zurich's zoo is home to over 2,000 species. The monkeys' and elephants' morning bathtime is a daily event not to be missed.

The church has a luxurious Baroque interior dating back to the 18C: the nave is decorated with stucco and frescos, the main altar and the altars of the side chapels, as well as the finely worked marble pulpit and baptistry. The transept houses the tombs of of St Polycarpe and St Lazare.
