What travellers are saying
- VinnieLondonDoha, Qatar7,091 contributionsThe old town area has many streets, bridges, buildings contained within it to see. Lots of cafes, bars and restaurants mean this is a perfect area to take in the traditional part of Zurich. You can easily spend a day visiting the various buildings with a lunch stop.Written 11 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- KumarSingapore, Singapore14 contributionsNice to pack some lunch and chill by the lake on the benches, the swans and ducks were beautiful to see.Written 26 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Denise L1 contributionBeautiful place to visit and easily accessible without having to book a tour. We added 2 zones to our Zurich pass so we could meet requirements, very cheap. The S10 line is closed for the summer 2022 so had to take bus but worth the trip.Written 15 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Walter MPinellas Park, FL71 contributionsSpace is plentiful for the animals. Plenty of enrichment toys and challenges to enhance their well-being. The elephant, ape, and Australian exhibits were our favorite. Beautiful landscape throughout.Written 2 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- knittermomAuburn, AL387 contributionsStarted with the special exhibit about art and medicine then spent hours in the main collection--too much to take in in one day.
Does have a centrally located small cafe to find a cold drink and 2 shops--one for each building. elevators were large and fairly easy to find too.Written 13 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - VinnieLondonDoha, Qatar7,091 contributionsNot too much to see other than international top brand shops and of course all the most famous Swiss watch brands ..in themselves worth a look. Some interesting little streets off the main high street, especially the end near the old town. Still worth a look on a Zurich visit.Written 11 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- scotdoc2015Birmingham, UK149 contributionsBe prepared to wait long time. Good service though. Shop inside too. Slight pressure to buy quickly.Written 5 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- B1714DBelgrade, Serbia13,456 contributionsThe Lindenhofplatz is the oldest part of Zurich at an elevated position in the old town.
When walking from the main railway station, it will be above the right bank of the Limmat river. You need to take an easy walk up to an elevated plateau where's a park with benches overlooking the entire town. Beneath it are Roman ruins, the oldest part of the city, but they're not in great shape and not that interesting.
Close by is the St. Peter's Church.Written 5 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - navi1usaIrving, TX104 contributionsThis is the main train station In Zurich. Over 3000 arrivals and departures per day. A very busy place but extremely important. Firstly a few things to note -
Most store’s name restaurants Close early - not at the train station. Also you have a wide variety of restaurants and shops. In addition there are facilities like lockers
( that you can rent ) showers and restrooms ( you have to pay - yes pay to use these facilities). Also it’s close to the city center so a good starting point for any sightseeing or tours etc. We flew into Zurich airport got a ride to the station - stored our luggage and then did a city tour - which started at the bus station, walking distance from here.Written 31 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Robert APhoenix, AZ3,464 contributionsThe Museum Rietberg is easy to get to by Zurich Tram. We got off the Green Line here on our way back from seeing Dolder Grand Hotel. Be sure to see the awesome Rodin Gate next to the entrance here.Written 6 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Karim MaaroufCairo, Egypt689 contributionsOne of the iconic buildings in Zurich's old town. Interesting on the inside and you can pay a small fee to climb the tower for some great views of Zurich.Written 21 December 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- SamNuremberg, Germany11,324 contributionsBeautiful neighborhood to walk by close to the old town area. Lots of restaurants, bars and small shops to choose from!!Written 24 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- VinnieLondonDoha, Qatar7,091 contributionsLocated by the old town square and bridge this beautiful church well worth a visit. Small CHF 5 entrance fee (bit unusual for a church but not expensive). Unfortunately my phone battery ran out for interior pictures but stained glass was vey impressive.Written 11 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- SamNuremberg, Germany11,324 contributionsBeautiful body of water located in the center of the city. Gives the city a very nice touch, picturesque one. Saw some boats around as wellWritten 24 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Adam DCanada397 contributionsIt's not a big museum. But the technology inside is amazing. Most of exhibition talks about trees. Anyway, it's good experience.Written 7 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
