from Luxembourg City to Zurich

Or, swing by Haut-Barr Castle, a 12th-century architectural feat that appears to teeter on the top of 3 massive boulders. This unusual site is partially in ruins, but a Romanesque chapel, artillery tower, and a walkable path of rocks called “The Devils Bridge” remain.

The city played a significant role during the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century led by Huldrych Zwingli. Today, Zurich’s old town, Altstadt, holds on faithfully to the city’s historical past. Stroll its cobbled streets, eat traditional food, and partake in museum tours, breathtaking churches, and luxury shopping experiences.

Artistic influence

Zurich is the origin of Dadaism, an art style that popped up during WWI. Dadaism went against the grain and didn’t follow rhyme or reason. Instead, it embraced nonsensical and irrational features. Hugo Ball, the father of Dadaism was a German poet and author, and he (allegedly) selected the name by randomly picking a word from the dictionary.
