Thematic City Tours – they do exist: city tours that show guests something beyond traditional history and beautiful monuments. Experience Zurich with volunteers from Public Eye. Public Eye advocates for a fair economy—something the banking sector severely lacks.
Banks help launder money and evade taxes. The industry’s black sheep obscure paper trails, allowing illicit funds to be invested in real estate, for example. The walking tour highlights sites where these stories unfold, such as banks or law firms.
The tour outlines current legal frameworks as well as the challenges of enforcing these laws. It also illustrates the complex web of international connections. Even the National Bank comes under scrutiny: it lacks investment transparency and is structured as a joint-stock company with limited public participation.
While history buffs can enjoy the biographies of notable figures and learn how certain buildings came to be, these aspects take a backseat on these thematic city tours.
