Bahnhofstrasse

4.8/5

445 reviews

Bahnhofstrasse is located on the west side of the Limmat, starting from Station Square in front of Zurich Main Station in the north and ending at Buerkliplatz on the shores of Lake Zurich in the south, with a total length of approx. 1.4 km. This street is actually quite young: it was only after Zurich demolished its old city walls and filled in the moat in the 1860s that this straight street was opened on the low-lying land formerly known as "Frog Ditch." Today, it is often compared to New York's Fifth Avenue and has long been ranked among the most expensive shopping streets in Europe, serving as a city landmark for Zurich. It also has a famous nickname—the "Wall Street of Switzerland." Zurich is an internationally renowned financial city, with banks and financial institutions clustered along the street; the headquarters of UBS Group (UBS) is located next to Paradeplatz along the way. Even more intriguing is the long-standing rumor that many banks store their gold reserves in underground vaults beneath the street. Switzerland has also long been one of the world's major hubs for gold trading, so it's no wonder some call it the "Golden Avenue." Thinking about the vaults that might be buried beneath your feet while strolling along is quite a fascinating experience.

Zurich Old Town

4.7/5

96 reviews

Zurich Old Town straddles both banks of the Limmat and serves as the city's historic core. Compared to the modern urban landscape of riverside banks and office buildings, it still retains the layout of a medieval town: winding cobblestone alleys, scattered old houses, guild halls, and street fountains. Standing on the riverbank, you can see the Old Town's three iconic churches at a glance—the twin-towered Grossmunster, St. Peter's Church, which features a clock face nearly 9m in diameter, and Fraumunster, famous for its Chagall stained-glass windows. Zurich Old Town is best explored on foot. Augustinergasse is lined with old houses featuring painted bay windows and vintage signs, making it one of the most recognizable alleys in the Old Town. For a panoramic view, head up to Lindenhof Hill; this former Roman castle site is now a vantage point for overlooking the Old Town's rooftops and the Limmat. Many old buildings have been converted into trendy restaurants, bars, and cafes, with bookstores and gift shops tucked away in the deep alleys. The Niederdorf area is a bustling shopping district by day, and after dark, its restaurants and bars light up, so it never feels repetitive even if you stroll from the afternoon well into the night.

The Zurich Museum of Fine Arts is located in the old town and has the richest collection of modern works in Switzerland. In addition to the works of the famous Swiss surrealist painter Alberto Giacometti, there are also works by Picasso, Monet, Chagall, etc. The entrance of the Zurich Art Museum is Rodin's famous sculpture - the gate of hell. The museum houses many famous works of art in Switzerland, including many Swiss painters' paintings, sculptures and prints, most of which are works from the 19th and 20th centuries. . Alberto Giacometti's paintings and sculptures are especially worth seeing, his work is a display of the emotions inherent in individual life and the spirit of human tragedy. Works by other painters such as Alfred Hodler and Arnold Boecklin also deserve attention.

Grossmunster

6

4.7/5

202 reviews

Grossmunsterstands on the banks of the Limmat, facing the Fraumünster on the opposite bank. The church is primarily in a typical Romanesque style, and its twin towers are now considered a symbol of Zurich; the composer Wagner once jokingly called them a pair of "pepper pots". Outside the south tower of the church stands a seated statue of Charlemagne holding a sword; it is a replica, with the original housed in the crypt. The crypt and the chancel area where the choir stalls are located are the oldest surviving parts of the church, dating back to the late 11th to early 12th century, with traces of the original frescoes still visible on the walls. In the early 16th century, the reformer Zwingli served as a priest here and preached his reformist ideas, making the church the birthplace of the Reformation in German-speaking Switzerland. The simple, white interior today is a legacy of this reformation. Inside the hall, you can also see stained glass windows designed by Swiss artist Augusto Giacometti, as well as bronze doors carved with images of Zwingli and Charlemagne. The cloister houses a Reformation museum, and climbing the south tower offers views over the Old Town, the Limmat, and the Lake Zurich area.

Lindenhof

4.5/5

Lindenhofis located in the Old Town of Zurich on the left bank of the Limmat. It is a small hill park rising more than 20m above the river, named for the linden trees planted on it, and feels like an oasis in the center of the Old Town. Its history is layered. In the Roman era, a customs post was established on the hilltop, followed by a fortress overlooking the riverbank, and the Carolingian royal palace was also built on the same site. After the palace was abandoned, it became a rare public green space within the city walls, where medieval guild banquets and citizen gatherings were often held. Today, the park retains a neat geometric layout, with stone chess tables set under the shade of old trees. Inside the park, an ancient fountain from the late 17th century features a statue of a woman wearing a helmet, commemorating the legend of Zurich women defending the city in 1292. Climbing to the hilltop platform, with the Limmat as the foreground, you can take in the Old Town on the opposite bank, the Grossmunster, the City Hall, and the buildings of the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich on the slopes. It is a classic vantage point for overlooking the Old Town and the river scenery. The narrow alleys leading to the hill are car-free and quiet. It is a great place to take a break after strolling along Bahnhofstrasse or visiting St. Peter's Church, and it is perfect for experiencing the leisurely daily life of the people of Zurich.

Zurich Zoo is one of the most popular zoos in Europe. There are currently about 360 species of animals, including snow leopards, spectacled bears, giant tortoises, emperor penguins and other precious species. In 2009, the zoo developed the Masora rainforest with an area of 10,000 square kilometers, during which tropical jungle creatures such as flying foxes are stocked, which is very worth seeing. In addition, "Penguin Parade Play" is also one of the signature projects of Zurich Zoo. Whenever the temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius, the penguins in the Antarctic Pavilion can play outdoors at noon. They are very cute and very popular with tourists.
