Atelier Bossard in Lucerne was one of Switzerland’s most renowned goldsmith’s workshops in the 19th century. Splendid trophies, silverware and jewellery were produced under the leadership of company founder Johann Karl Bossard (1846-1914). The staff not only created their own designs but also crafted exact copies of historical objects from the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods. Craftsmanship had recovered its appeal as people pushed back against industrial mass production. A visit to Bossard’s and the purchase of a prestige item were de rigueur for wealthy noble families and rich industrialists in the booming tourist city of Lucerne. In 2013, the contents of the goldsmith’s workshop were added to the collection at the Swiss National Museum. The exhibition in the National Museum Zurich’s Hall of Fame displays designs, models and historical photos in addition to the workshop’s most beautiful pieces, reviving Bossard’s former brilliance.

SUNSHINE ONUS

The Cathedral of Zurich is one of the three main churches in Zurich, Switzerland, and is designed to incorporate a variety of architectural styles such as Romanesque, post-Gothic and neo-Gothic. Its most distinctive feature is the towering twin towers, which makes it also known as the &quot;Cathedral of Zurich Twin Towers&quot;. The interior of the church is simple and reflects the style of the 16th century Reformation. The church has stained glass windows created by Swiss modern art master Giacometti, whose artistic masterpieces are painted glass. In addition, the church&#39;s underground church and the seat of the Saints are older parts of the existing history, dating back to the late 11th century and early 12th century, and still can see traces of the frescoes on the decoration.

Bahnhofstrasse

Show闲队长

Bahnhof street is Zurich&#39;s most famous shopping street, luxurious and vibrant! It is full of top brand stores, fine cafes and century-old shops, and it is super stylish to stroll around. The streets are clean and elegant, and the trams shuttle between them, retro and modern. Although the price is high, the window appreciation and street shooting are great value! It is recommended to feel the exquisite life of Switzerland, remember to bring your wallet ～

横竖是二温小迪

The Zurich Museum of Art is really conscience. It is free to see paintings on Wednesday and storage is free. There will be more works by well-known painters in the new museum. If there is not enough time, go directly to the new museum. Monet, Van Gogh, Reano, Picasso and other well-known painters can be seen here at close range, it is a super generous museum. I feel that Monet has a lot of paintings.

Fraumunster Church

The Cathedral of Notre Dame Zurich is a must-check landmark! The twin towers are super eye-catching and the green spires are super mirrored. The interior of the church is simple and atmospheric, the colored windows and murals are exquisite, and the tower can also overlook the city. The location is super convenient, just on the banks of the Limat River, across the river from the cathedral opposite. Free visit, quiet and sacred, suitable for taking pictures in a daze. Don&#39;t miss it when you come to Zurich!

Swiss National Museum

Museums

On the first day of landing in Zurich, it happened to be raining and came to visit the National Museum next to the train station. With the Swiss pass, you can get tickets for free, and the staff also gave a coin for the bag. The storage and toilet are on the basement floor, and the small trolley case should also be stored. The exhibits on the first floor of the Swiss Museum can also be guided in Chinese, and there is no Chinese guide on the second floor. The exhibits are not very interesting to me. The value of the museum is not bad, there are not many people, suitable for punching in and taking pictures. In addition, the gift shop gadgets are also very cute, that is, the price is not beautiful.
