Step inside the Fraumünster to see the Chagall windows. The church opens at 10:00, which is the quietest time to appreciate the colors without the midday crowds.
13:31
Walk one minute to Zunfthaus Zur Waag for a late morning snack or light lunch. The restaurant opens at 11:30, so arrive just as it opens to secure a seat before the lunch rush.

Stroll seven minutes to the Kronenhalle. This famous restaurant is a spectacle in itself, even if you just order a coffee or a digestif. The walls are covered in original artwork by famous Swiss and European artists.

Walk six minutes north to Lindenhof. This hill in the heart of the old town offers a beautiful view of the city. Arrive here to catch the golden light that starts at 16:12, watching the sun set toward the WSW.
