Take a private guided tour in the Old Town of Zurich and explore places related to the Jewish community. Come face to face with the rich testimonies to bygone days and learn about the Jews emancipation.

During a 2-hours tour you will have a chance to get familiar with the history of the Jewish community in Zurich. Start your historical adventure from the oldest Jewish site in the city near the Froschaugasse. It’s a narrow alley in the area of the old quarter. Visit the nearly hidden alleyway Synagogengasse which marks the area of the former historical Jewish Quarter of Zurich. There is a former building of the Jewish school named so, as it housed the medieval synagogue. You can find there a small remnant of the room adornment including fragments of a wall painting from the 14th century. Let your Expert-Guide take you to the oldest and the largest synagogue near the heart of Zurich – the Synagogue Zürich Löwenstrasse. Admire the brown and white Moorish-style building with its twin domes. Finish your tour at the Israelitische Cultusgemeinde Zürich. This center of Jewish community dates back to the late 19th century, and it boasts the largest Jewish community in Switzerland.

Extend your tour to 3-hours and explore the interior of the Synagogue Zürich Löwenstrasse. The synagogue is a beige and red-striped building with two towers. You can find inside the wooden sanctuary and desks with straight back wooden chairs anchored into a wood plank floor. Hear from your Expert-Guide about the architecture of this synagogue and watch the plain white walls with evenly spaced stained-glass windows.
