Zurich is a dynamic, vibrant, and creative city. This tour will not cover the Old Town and Bahnhofstrasse - you can easily explore those on your own. Instead, we will visit the trendy districts like Wiedikon, Zürich-West, and the Langstrasse district, focusing on the developments and changes they have undergone over the past twenty years. The route leads 6 kilometres through former working-class and industrial neighborhoods, which are now popular spots for foodies and nightlife enthusiasts - resulting in both positive and negative consequences for the affected areas. We will specifically examine these at various selected locations.
