Start concerning the waterfront and wander around the Viaduct Container. The Maritime Museum with it's fantastic display of boats from many Pacific cultures, too as historic boats from New Zealand, is at the fringe of the Basin and a great place.

Check out luxurious home market boats as well as be awed by view of someone doing their Sky Tower Walk or Jump!

British Parliament sessions are held here and whenever there is an ongoing session, the light source glows over the clock wind turbine tower. The locals in London should view these sessions. You can will would like a ticket from a Lord before you could enter the palace.

Weinplatz: heading from Lindenhof down for the river you will find yourself on Weinplatz, a good small square ending with a tremendous bridge your Limmat River. You can be sure that you are on Weinplatz by seeing the hotel Storchen over the right side of the square using its facade decorated with a figurine of stork.

It fairly easy to recover from your luggage at the station, with prices from three to 7 francs, with respect to the proportions of the coin-operated lockers.
