District 1

District 1 encompasses medieval structures, narrow streets, and stone buildings along the Limmat River between University Quarter and Bahnhofstrasse street.

The area contains remnants of Roman settlement Turicum from the 1st century BC, which later evolved into medieval Zürich's commercial center.

The district houses numerous museums, theaters, and historic churches, including the Grossmünster cathedral with its distinctive twin towers.

The neighborhood connects to multiple tram lines, bus routes, and water taxis, offering direct access to Zürich's main train station.

Four distinct quarters divide the district: Rathaus with its town hall, Hochschulen with universities, Lindenhof with Roman foundations, and City.
