Hike the Stations of the Cross to the summit of Srd - the views on the ascent are amazing- I went for a sunrise hike so I was able to enjoy the city lit up at dawn as I ascended. You can also just wait until later in the day and take the gondola to the summit as well. I did this later in the day with the family and enjoyed the museum at the summit that chronicles the heroic efforts of. Start the hike in the old tow ascending steep staircases until you get to the trailhead. Then its 1.5 miles to the summit.
