Villas and gardens
Winterthur is not known as a garden city for nothing: a belt of prestigious villas surrounded by magnificent gardens stretches around the old town.
Where Winterthur’s upper class once strolled.
It’s no coincidence that Winterthur is known as a garden city: a belt of stately villas, surrounded by magnificent gardens, stretches around the old town. Join us on a historical stroll through secluded gardens and take a peek behind the once tightly closed wrought-iron gates.
End point: The public Villas and Gardens tour ends at Lindengutpark (Vögelipark).
We recommend starting at Villa Rychenberg (Rychenbergstrasse 94). During the winter months, due to darkness, we recommend starting the Villas and Gardens tour no later than 5:00 PM.
