Zurich's Altstadt (Old Town) occupies both banks of the Limmat, with medieval guild houses, churches, and narrow lanes. The west bank (Lindenhof side) has quieter antique shops; the east bank (Grossmünster side) is livelier with cafés and clubs.
Zurich's Old Town preserves its medieval layout despite extensive 19th-century modernisation. The guild houses recall Zurich's governance by craft guilds until 1798.
