A City Break in Frauenfeld, Switzerland

Hello everyone! Today I thought I would share some photos from my latest adventure which took me to the little-known city of Frauenfeld, capital of the canton of Thurgau in Switzerland, situated 34km from Zurich.

I spent a weekend exploring the city highlights. It was the perfect amount of time to discover this small and cute city of about 26'000 souls. I took the train and in just over 3 hours arrived in this captivating and not well known Swiss city.

I stayed at the Zum Goldenen Kreuz (Zürcherstrasse 134, Frauenfeld) which is a traditional Swiss hotel. It has a renowned restaurant with a lovely terrace where one can taste Swiss German specialties.

US-Mex Frauenfeld Bar-Restaurant (Zürcherstrasse 148, Frauenfeld) - Before dinner we went for an aperitif here. I chose a “Rio Verde” cocktail and Sweetheart had a “Frozen Mango Margarita” both drinks were delicious.

After a long stroll in Frauenfeld, we went back to the hotel’s restaurant - which was fully booked.

The history of the Zum Goldenen Kreuz (Zürcherstrasse 134, Frauenfeld) dates back to the 17th century. This house has welcomed guests such as the Duke of Weimar and the poet Goethe. After a complete renovation in 1978, the venerable house shone in new splendour. This Hotel-Restaurant is located on the outskirts of the old town. It offers free wi-fi and each room has a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a shower.

One can take a seat in the house or on the terrace.

The interiors of the restaurant are just gorgeous with ancient wood panelling and framed pictures on the walls.

We loved this simple, yet great 3star hotel enormously because of its historic building. We had an amazing dinner, the staff were so friendly and the food was to die for. So if you are looking for a lovely address we recommend to you this authentic place.
