It's a beautiful protestant church in the heart of the city. It can be approached through a mild climb which gives it an extra hint of charm. The bell tower clock is very unique and prominent . It is characteristic for this area so cannot be commonly found anywhere else. Unfortunately, I couldn't get inside as it was closed and partially under refurbishment but it was still well-worth the visit.

From a distance, St. Peter’s Church in Zurich makes a striking impression, primarily due to its massive clock tower, which is notable for having the largest church clock face in Europe. The clock is certainly an eye-catcher and adds to the city’s skyline, which features several other interesting towers. While we didn’t go inside, the exterior of the church looked quite interesting and seemed to promise more intriguing architectural features and historical elements. Zurich is full of such historical sites, and St. Peter’s fits well within this ensemble, even if it didn't quite lure us in for a closer look this time. The abundance of compelling clock towers and other attractions around Zurich might make it easy to overlook St. Peter’s unless you have a particular interest in church architecture or historical clocks. It might be worth a quick stop if you're nearby and interested in its external facade and the clock, but we felt our time could be better spent exploring other unique spots in the city. Overall, for those with a deep interest in Zurich's historical sites, a closer inspection might reveal more charms that we missed from afar. However, for casual tourists, it’s a pleasant enough view from the outside but not a must-see unless you're passing right by.

One of the four main churches of old town Zurich, the tower stands with an amazing huge clock. The inside rather on the small side, but still brilliant to see.
