HEARTBRUT x Heimatschutzzentrum at Villa Patumbah: Guided Tour

Our walk from Swiss National Museum to Swissmill Tower explores concrete & other beauties along Letten Canal and soaks up Zurich’s legendary river lido vibes

Do you love concrete beauties, lush urban nature and Zurich’s legendary river lido vibes? Then my guided tour from the National Museum to the Swissmill Tower is for you.

Let’s rediscover Zurich’s little-known 19th-century concrete pioneer and explore other stunning buildings and places along Letten Canal in hip district 5. We’ll stop at Platzspitz Park, Elsa Burckhardt-Blum’s pioneering river lidos and James Joyce’s favourite haunt. See you there?
