Winterthur hotels and accommodation

Winterthur is a city in the Swiss canton of Zurich that dates back to Roman times. It is Switzerland’s sixth largest city, and has a reputation as a cultural centre. This pleasant city is a great place to spend a vacation, or even just a weekend. Winterthur has a well preserved Old Town that is automobile-free. A Museum bus does an hourly circuit, stopping at all of the main museums and art galleries. The Museum Oskar Reinhart am Stadtgarten is a must see. It contains masterpieces from one of the greatest private art collections in the world. Guests staying in Winterthur hotels can also visit Sammlung Oskar Reinhart am Romerholz, the villa where Reinhart lived. The 13th century Gothic parish church is well worth a visit, as is the Fotomuseum. Other sites to be seen are the 18th century Town Hall, the 19th century Stadthaus (concert hall) and the Kunstmuseum, yet another excellent art gallery.
