The map of Zurich
At 47° north latitude at the foot of the Alps, Zurich stretches along both shores of Lake Zurich and the Limmat river. The medieval Altstadt core, with its tight lanes around the Lindenhof, gives way to regular 19th-century grid districts. The wooded Uetliberg hill overlooking the city reveals the striking contrast between the ancient fabric and modern extensions on a map poster.
