Listen to tales by the river's edge, stand where crowds once gathered to see justice served, and ponder the fates of those who crossed the line in old Zurich. Prepare to be captivated by the macabre details and stories that have seeped into the very stones of the city. By the time you reach your final stop, you'll have been transported through centuries of lore, leaving with a profound sense of the dark and intriguing chapters that form Zurich's hidden narrative.
