Zurich is an expensive city where everything seems to cost something to enter. But unknown to the average traveler, there are things to do in this city that are absolutely free. One of the is the Zurich Toy Museum. Video of the Zurich Toy Museum.
The Zurich Toy Museum has toys from the 18th to the 20th Century. What struck me was the intricacy of the toy trains and other mechanical devices. It is as if the took a full scale train and shrunk it. These toys actually work on the same power source as the full size locomotive. There are also dolls and stuffed animals on display. The most interesting is the Teddy Bear that was sold when Teddy Roosevelt ran for office.
Located in downtown Zurich, the museum is easy to get to and worth a look. This museum may even bring back memories of your own childhood.

Milan Castle and the Secret to Free Museums
Thursday, March 12th, 2009Milan Castle Video This Castle is over seven centuries old. It was one of the most “sumptuous courts of all Europe. It then became an army barracks during foreign occupation by first the Spanish, then the Austrians, the French, and then the Austrians again. In the 19th century, a united Italy restored the castle to what it once was. They even restored the church which was used by the occupiers as a stable. Ironic since there is a statue of an Austrian Saint in the Courtyard.
Besides the free castle, there are twelve museum housed in the building. They are;
Museum of Ancient Art
