Zurich offers more than just being the financial hub of Switzerland.

This self-guided audio tour reveals a lesser-known side of the city, not typically found in guidebooks.

Discover the trials and executions of those accused of witchcraft and minor offenses.

Explore sites where torture occurred in Zurich and learn about the execution methods used. Along the journey, visit both prominent and hidden attractions, such as the executioner’s former residence and the Wasserkirche, or Water Church. See Zurich’s Town Hall, where death sentences were declared, and learn where individuals could have their final sip of wine before execution.
