The Limmat River runs through Zurich's Old Town ending at Lake Zurich. A stroll up and down the banks of the river is a good way to get an introduction to the city's Altstadt (Old Town). Among the many historic sites dating back to medieval times, the Grossmunster towers above them all. Even with both towers covered in scaffolding during ongoing renovations, the structure's impact on the city skyline is unmistakable!

Social Media Description
Although the skies were gloomy, we made it safely to the first destination of our fall fling - Zurich, Switzerland. Since this is a return visit for us (and we didn't get much sleep on the plane), we spent our first day walking along the river in Old Town (and trying to stay dry)!
