Zurich Einstein Quest: Self-Guided Family Walk Discount Tickets

Overview

Solve a self-guided family walking quest through Zurich as Marcel, a curious 6-year-old in 1884. The clock at St. Peter's has stopped. A man with kind eyes and a violin asks for your help. He turns out to be Albert Einstein, years before he became famous. Use the Questo app on your phone to follow Einstein across 11 real Zurich landmarks: St. Peter's Church, Paradeplatz, the Fraumünster, Charlemagne's house, the Napfbrunnen, and the ETH university. Solve riddles, decode codes, and walk through Einstein's favorite thought experiments. Each chapter has its own puzzle and a piece of Zurich history, woven with Einstein's ideas about time, light, and relativity, made simple enough for a six-year-old. Start anytime, pause whenever, and pick up where you left off. Allow around 60 minutes for the full 1.6 km route through Old Town Zurich. Family friendly, perfect for parents and kids ages 6+, or anyone wanting Zurich through Einstein's eyes.
