You step off an air-conditioned coach on the quayside of Lake Zurich as gulls argue over bread crusts and a cold wind slides down from the Alps. The city’s medieval Old Town opens like a set of narrow rooms—cobblestone streets, carved stone facades and the Limmat River threading the place together—before the road pulls you away toward thunder: the Rhine Falls.
