Photographers' Tour Through Zurich
Tour guide: Roland Kunz (OCI)

This tour traces old structures that persist in the modern town's topology. These are still visible to everyone who knows what to look for. It is called the "photographers' tour" but is not exclusively so. Do not hesitate to bring your tripods and all your lenses with you – and I will entertain the snapshot faculty with unprofitable historical details while the serious guys are taking their shots.
