Very pretty painted archways and very convenient for someone walking the Limmat riverwalk. Has a striking clock steeple.

Church was included in a tour of the city and interesting and beautiful. Many churches in the area but well worth seeing.
This church is sandwiched in around so many other buildings I found it hard to get to, but it was worth it. The clock on the outside steeple is huge and looks like it has been lovingly kept in good condition. We were able to go inside and just sat for a respite. Not as ornate as others in town,...

When I found out that St. Peter Church boasted the largest clock-face in all of Europe, I knew it was a place I wanted to see during my stop in Zurich. While the clock-face is truly impressive, the interior of the church is fairly simple, but maybe my opinion is tainted after seeing the spectacular churches in places like Paris...

This is one of the main churches in Zurich. It is also one of the oldest and with the largest clock face. I agree that the exterior is the most interesting part of the church. The interior is very peaceful but not particularly interesting. They do, however, perioridcally offer classical music concerts. Overall, I think it's worth taking a look...

My husband and I want to mass at this church. It was a wonderful experience. A very spirit filled time and an excellent way to be thankful for all the beautiful sites and experience of the city.
St. Peter has the largest church clock face in Europe, 8.7m (28.5 ft) diameter!
That's pretty much the highlight when visiting, as this is a Protestant church, so it's not particularly ornate.
But, my friend did recently discover a modern, glass elevator right outside--which looked totally out of place in the old town--but was absolutely cool for performing sudden disappearing...

If you are passing by it is worth a peek inside, but overall, not anything I would recommend going out of my way to see. We were there in October of 2011
More interesting from the outside, with it's enourmous clock and maze of surrounding streets than inside, where it is rather plain.
A gorgeous building, with a huge clock.Very picturesque. However, it was closed for a wedding and then later in the day, there was a large protest outside. Alas, another Zürich landmark we couldn't visit internally.
