What do people usually say about Zurich? Switzerland's financial heart... The city of bankers and shoppers... The streets where everyone is in a hurry...
We invite you to get to know a radically different Zurich.
Think 500 years back and imagine a medieval city with medieval customs. An executioner lives somewhere nearby, across the street they are taking a woman suspected of witchcraft to prison, and not very far away the city council is deciding on how to execute the guy who stole four bags of salt.
Do you want to see and find out where people were tortured in Zurich and how, where the pillory was located and where executions took place? We will not only guide you through the key places associated with this dark side of the city, but also tell the true story of the real people. You will learn how stoically the beautiful Elsbeth, suspected of witchcraft, endured torture, how cruelly the maid Adelheid was executed, and how rich Agatha did not manage to escape a death sentence.

We had to ask for assistance for the link to work and took long time to load . If Rick Steves would have been available would have done his tour.

It was so great! I loved the tour. I could walk at my own pace, could read text in case of background noise or misunderstandings. I'm impatient to take another tour!

The path was very easy to follow and the narration was interesting. If only the tour included more diverse topics from the alternative history of the city and more places one can actually enter. Nevertheless, absolutely worth time and money. I wish you had a more general sightseeing tour like this for a first time visitor

It’s been a really interesting experience. I have discovered Zürich from a totally different perspective, full of mysteries, history and charm. Now, even the classic Zurich sights like Paradeplatz or Fraumünster seem to have a different image, an enchanting one. Would have loved to discover other cities through the same lens!
