Religious Reform in Switzerland
Day 1 Zurich After breakfast visit the lovely town of Zurich. This tour includes sights like the Old Town, Zwingli Statue and the Grossmunster Church. Huldrych Zwingli led the Prote- stant Reformation from Zurich in the 1520´s and his pastoral office was located at the Grossmunster Church, a Romanesque-style Prote- stant church. Rest of the day free at your leisure.
Day 2 Zurich - Basel - Bern Today we travel to the “cultural city of Switzerland”, Basel. Enjoy a short visit of the city that is located on the Rhine River where the Swiss, French and German borders clash. In 1534 Calvin was induced to leave his home and to seek safety in free Switzerland. Here Calvin published his “Christian religious doctrine”.
Our last destination for today is Bern, the capital city of Switzerland.
Day 3 Bern - Lausanne - Geneva In the morning we enjoy a sightsee- ing tour of Bern, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Reformation in Bern was prepared in the city and throughout the canton by three ministers Sebastian Meyer, Bert- hold Haller and Francis Kolb and by a gifted layman Niclaus Manuel, who were all friends of Zwingli. On the way to Geneva short stop in Lausanne, where the pastor Pierre Viret, known as “the angel of the reformation” established a Refor- med Academy.

St. Pierre´s Cathedral that belongs to the Swiss Reformed Church now. After visit of the Reformation Mo- nument that honors many of the main individuals, events and docu- ments of the Protestant Reformati- on.
