A Walk Through Zurichs Secret Green City

Year after year, Zurich ranks among the most liveable cities in the world. But why? The answer isn't just in the healthcare or education systems — it's in the streets, the parks, the fountains, the waterways, and the green spaces that bring the city to life. Discover Zurich through the eyes of your guide, landscape architect Marta, who will take you to scenic spots and reveal the stories behind its hidden gems. Blending urban planning and landscape design, your guide will show you how an architect created a whale's ribcage to protect a park, how an apparently wild riverbank is actually a landscape planned down to the millimeter, and how citizens vote — referendum by referendum — to decide what kind of city they want to live in. On this walk you will: • Learn how glaciers and history shaped today's Zurich • Walk shaded paths, waterside routes and hidden gardens • See design sketches on-site in remarkable urban spaces • Hear Zurich's honest story: successes, failures, what still awaits
