The Baroque Rathaus (Town Hall) and Zrich's most impressive churches the Grossmnster, Fraumnster and the city's oldest, St Peterskirche (its clock face is the largest in Europe) all lie within a short distance of the River Limmat, near to where it opens onto the lake.
In Zrich, a total of around 2,000 bars and restaurants pamper guests palates with culinary delicacies from all over the world. Moreover, between spring and fall these are supplemented by some 480 open-air restaurants. The ways in which innovative ideas are implemented are more remarkable than ever before, ranging from the Blinde Kuh, the first restaurant in the world to be run by blind people, to cuisine-with-a-difference by the water, to top culinary creations by internationally renowned chefs, served in elaborate surroundings.
