Despite DeSalvo's full confession and imprisonment, authorities would never put him on trial for the actual murders. And more t ...

Most travelers to Zurich head straight for the Old Town, Bahnhofstrasse, or maybe the Lindt Home of Chocolate, but have you ever heard of the Schanzengraben?
In this episode, I’m joined by Evelyne Jeannerat from Zurich Tourism to uncover one of the city’s most surprising hidden gems: the Schanzengraben, a quiet waterway just steps from the heart of Zurich. Whether you explore it on foot or by stand-up paddleboard, this peaceful spot offers a whole new way to experience the city.
Evelyne shares why this former 17th-century defense moat is now one of her favorite places to unwind. You’ll hear about the best parts of the Schanzengraben promenade, from shady benches and historic bridges to the iconic Männerbad and nearby botanical garden.
You’ll also get insider tips on how to explore Zurich like a local, like renting a stand up paddleboard, grabbing a picnic lunch to enjoy by the water, or catching a sunset cocktail at Rimini Bar.
We also talk about the unique Zurich lifestyle: a perfect blend of city nature, culture, and laid-back charm. From early-morning swims to outdoor dining, you’ll see how easy it is to slow down and soak it all in.
Whether you're visiting for a weekend or adding Zurich to your Switzerland itinerary, this episode will inspire you to step off the tourist trail and discover one of the most relaxing walks in the city.
Hit play now and get ready to see Zurich from a whole new perspective!
Safe travels,
Carolyn
