So exploring our favorite destination, here we go again,
The bus was already waiting for us, we all sat inside the bus, and now everyone was sitting the same way as we were did before, we were so happy to get the last seat always,
I saw Shrishti, she was gossiping with her friends, but the sadness was clearly visible in her eyes, I really felt bad for her,
In the last Abhimanyu came inside, and everyone was staring him, but his gaze fell on me, and I turned my gaze, god knows why, but I started hating him more than before now,
His eyes were looking dark, and I do not know why, but he was not looking in a good mood,
I better not to see in his direction, so I turned my head towards Suhani, she was talking to her mom, so better not to disturb her,
I did not call my mom yet, Neel was saying he did, she is fine, but I think I should also call her, and I will in the night, so she does not get hurt because of me, does not matter how much she did me in the past,
Suhani cut the call and turned her head towards me, and I passed a small smile, as I do not want to spoil her mood because of me,
"Excited again", I asked her and she nods,
"So much", she replied wrapping her hands around my shoulder, after twenty minutes we reached to our next destination in Old Town,
We walked a little and Mr. Ban started giving us a lecture about the place,
"Augustinergasse – One of Zurich's Most Beautiful Historical Narrow Streets
Augustinergasse is conspicuous for the many bay windows along with it. These served not only to provide light but also to have other practical benefits,
Augustinergasse is one of the most beautiful historical, narrow streets in Zurich. With many well-preserved, colorfully painted bay windows, it provides an insight into the history of the city. In addition to better light, the bay windows provided above all the possibility to see who was at the door. They were never built directly above the entrance door, but instead always slightly offset. As a result, residents could already spot unwanted guests from afar and avoid them in an elegant manner when necessary,
Augustinergasse connects busy Bahnhofstrasse with the former Gothic Augustiner Church from the 13th century and continues to the "oasis" St. Peterhofstatt – the square in front of the St. Peter Church – in the picturesque old part of the city", said Mr. Ban, and took a deep breath, as he was talking nonstop,
And Suhani also got tired of making notes like crazily, we were wandering in those beautiful streets, and it was so peaceful,
After visiting such a beautiful place, I felt pretty nice, and now it was time to see our next destination, which was not so far from our current location,
St. Peter – the Oldest Parish Church in Zurich
The St. Peter Church is the oldest parish church in Zurich – with the original 9th-century foundation walls still seen today beneath the chancel,
The city's first mayor, Rudolf Brun, acquired St. Peter's in 1345 with all the associated privileges and obligations. His grave and monument can be found by the outer tower wall. The first reformed pastor, Leo Jud (1523-1542), was a friend of Zwingli and contributed to the first translation of the Bible in Zurich. J.C. Lavater was pastor from 1778-1801. His gravestone can be seen in the church wall,
The church clock face measures 8.7m in diameter. There are five bells dating from 1880 in the tower – the largest of which weighs over six tons without its clapper,
The more I was wandering here, the more I was falling in love with this place, how come the place is so beautiful and amazing,
And here we go again,
Lindenhof – From Roman Fort to Green Vantage Point Over ZurichLindenhof is an oasis at the heart of the city that looks back on a moving history
This spot provides a glorious view of the Old Town, Grossmünster Church, City Hall, the Limmat river, the university, and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. Lindenhof was also the scene of numerous historical events.
In the 4th century, a Roman fort stood on Lindenhof – and in the 9th century the grandson of Charlemagne built a regal palace as a place of residence on the very same site,
This area continued to be a place for gatherings for Zurich's inhabitants right up to the beginning of the modern era. For example, the oath sealing the Helvetic Constitution was taken on the Lindenhof in 1798,
Today, Lindenhof is a haven of peace and tranquility in the heart of the city and a meeting point for passionate chess players,
I really love the peace in the air, everything was so perfect here,
And now we are going to,
Schipfe – Traditional Trades Still Cultivated Today in Zurich's Oldest District
Boats docked at "Schipfe" in the Middle Ages, which delivered silk, gold, and food to Zurich. Today, the district is an idyllic place to linger,
"Schipfe" is one of the oldest quarters of the city of Zurich and runs below Lindenhof,
The name originates from the nautical term "Schupfen" (push) used by the fishermen to describe how they pushed their boats to and from the riverbank. During the Middle Ages the Schipfe was the transfer point for essential merchandise, and from the 16th century became the headquarters of the silk industry and the location of bathhouses and boatbuilding. Even today, the Schipfe remains a street of artisans, where craftspeople take the necessary time for their customers, providing expert advice and suggestions. Quality and custom-made products are available in the small, romantic shops and workshops along the Limmat River. The Schipfe is an idyllic location to linger, shop, and enjoy some good food,
This place was also pretty famous for food, but Mr. Ban did not allow to eat us, as he said he just had breakfast,
So we directly headed to our next destination,
Giacometti Frescos ("Blüemlihalle")
Thanks to Augusto Giacometti, what is probably the most beautiful police station entrance hall worldwide is located in the heart of Zurich,
Important art-in-architecture work
Executed between 1922 and1926
In the entrance of the city police headquarters
Gustav Gull, until 1900 Zurich's municipal architect and mastermind behind the National Museum, was entrusted with the task of converting a former orphanage into a municipal building to house the city police headquarters. In order to save space, the vaulted ceiling of what had been the cellar was transformed into the entrance area,
In 1922, the City of Zurich launched a competition to paint the entrance hall, with the aim of brightening up the gloomy space and creating work opportunities for local artists. Augusto Giacometti (1877–1947) won the competition with ease. His design in warm red and ochre tones was executed between 1922 and 1926 using the alfresco and al secco techniques. The ceiling and vault paintings comprise ornamental floral designs and geometric patterns. The walls, meanwhile, depict people at work: stone carvers and carpenters represent the handicraft trade, while astronomers and magicians denote science,
Nowadays, the art-in-architecture work, which was extensively restored in 2019, is considered to be of national importance.
The locals affectionately refer to the Giacometti Hall as the "Blüemlihalle" (hall of little flowers) due to its design featuring countless ornamental flowers,
It was the most beautiful police station I have ever seen in my life,
We headed out from there, and it was noontime, the sunlight was so peaceful and relaxable, so we headed to the next place,
Fraumünster – a Church in the Old Town With Windows by Chagall and Giacometti
The Fraumünster and Grossmünster churches are landmarks of Zurich. The convent once held great power in Zurich
Founded in 853 by King Louis the German, this church with its convent was inhabited by the female members of the aristocracy of Europe. The convent enjoyed the patronage of kings and the abbess the right to mint coins in Zurich until well into the 13th century. Ownership of the church and convent passed to the city of Zurich after the Reformation
Important architectural features include the Romanesque chancel and the high vaulted transept. The nave was last renovated in 1911
Its most stunning treasures are the stained glass windows: those in the north transept are by Augusto Giacometti and the five-part cycle in the chancel and rosette in the southern transept the works of Marc Chagall. The cloister also reveals a series of frescos by Paul Bodmer,
Every place I was visiting here was screaming the peace and beauty, and I was falling for the place every single moment I was spending here,
Suhani was going crazy, and Neel and Ayan were looking so damn happy, and my smile automatically increased as i saw their happy faces,
This trip is really gonna be the best trip of my life,
