Fraumünster
This 13th-century church is renowned for its stunning stained-glass windows, designed by the Russian-Jewish master Marc Chagall (1887–1985), who executed the series of five windows in the choir stalls in 1971 and the rose window in the southern transept in 1978. The rose window in the northern transept was created by Augusto Giacometti in 1945. Admission includes a multilingual audioguide.
Kunsthaus
Zürich’s impressive fine-arts gallery boasts a rich collection of largely European art. It stretches from the Middle Ages through a mix of Old Masters to Alberto Giacometti stick figures, Monet and van Gogh masterpieces, Rodin sculptures, and other 19th- and 20th-century art. It also hosts rotating exhibitions of the highest calibre.
Street Parade
This techno celebration in mid-August has established itself as one of Europe’s largest and wildest street parties since its first festive outing in 1992. The four-hour tours invite hikers to discover Villars and Brettaye. Before embarking on the treasure hunt, the visitors register at the tourist office. Then the treasure hunt can begin. On the way, the hikers have to answer questions about the surroundings of Villars and exciting riddles have to be solved, which ultimately lead to the treasure. Fabulous prizes will be raffled among all participating families.
