It’s at a short distance (we can walk till there even if we have luggages. The hotel is really great, one of the best I have ever tried. We go to sleep.

We wake up and just look out the window and we see that it is snowing! Only a week ago we were in Rome, warm, the temperature difference is noticeable.
Under the snow we start to visit the city. Along the canal, we head towards the center and we walk in Niederdorfstrasse to reach St. Peter raised from the other places. Then the Grossmunster with his watch, the sightseeing of the city from the university area, Fraumunster and Rathaus. In the afternoon, again by train, we go to Rapperswil, a town that rises on the same lake. Here we see the Hauptplatz, turn around the castle hill with the park full of deers.
We climb on top of the hill, we see the castle and St. Johannes. Back to Zurich, we see outside the LandesMuseum and back at the hotel.

Once awake we see that Liebfrauenkirch is located within walking distance from our hotel. Then, by train, we go to Zug. The weather has improved compared to yesterday, there is the sun and the temperature was raised. In the lakeshore we find cages with birds from various parts of the world. The town is quiet and it’s pleasing walking through the town: Fischmarkt, Zytturm, Liebfrauenkapelle, Zeughaus,Burg, St. Oswald and Rathaus. Back to Zurich to take the train that will bring us back to Milan.
