You see this view everywhere before you even arrive in Zürich—it’s on postcards, travel blogs, and probably the cover of every guidebook. So when you finally stand on the bridge and see it with your own eyes, it feels both familiar and a little surreal. It's the picture you know you have to get. And it doesn't disappoint. The Grossmünster's twin towers are just as imposing in real life, standing guard over the Limmat River. The whole scene, with the old buildings and the gentle arch of the Münsterbrücke, is exactly as advertised: the perfect, historic European city view. This view is beautiful, essential, and exactly what you expect. It's the anchor of the city's image. But the real stories often hide in the places you don't see on the postcards.

A place with a very interesting history, and a free entry. What more could one possibly ask for? Well, texts of the exhibit in English as well as German would be nice. There is not a single word in English in the whole church, except for the audios, which tell you the story of the saints and 3 other Zurich's legends. If you want at least some info in English, you can ask the person at the desk, and they will give you an A4 paper, with like a 10th of what the exhibit talks about, but at least something.
