The route moves through the historic centre. According to the guide's description, it takes in the Fraumünster, the Grossmünster, the Cabaret Voltaire, St. Peter's Church and the Lindenhof, ending at that ancient Roman settlement and origin of the city. Along the way the guide talks about Swiss political life, medieval abbesses at the Fraumünster, the Reformation's start at the Grossmünster and the origins of Dadaism, and leaves room for questions and recommendations for the rest of a stay.

Because the whole walk is in Spanish, it suits Spanish-speaking visitors rather than English speakers. The guide sets out to show the must-see places while giving a perspective on the country that goes beyond monument names, and walkers pay at the end what they feel the tour was worth, in cash or by Twint, Bizum, Wise, Revolut or PayPal.
