Out and about
Just around the corner from the Sheraton Zurich Neues Schloss you will find Zurich’s most famous shopping street, Bahnhofstrasse. From designer fashion, to art, and charming cafes and restaurants, a visit here is an essential part of any trip to Zurich. This world-renowned shopping boulevard was created after the construction of Zurich´s Main Station and attracts locals as well as visitors. Another highlight is Paradeplatz in the centre of Bahnhofstrasse – the Swiss banking district is home to many of the city’s most historic buildings and buzzes with activity.
Rennweg and Augustinergasse lead off from Bahnhofstrasse into the picturesque old town, an area famed for its elegant boutique shopping. During Christmas and the winter season the boulevard is illuminated in spectacular festive style and it’s here everyone heads to enjoy a mulled wine or hot chocolate as evening draws in.
Another must-do in Zurich is to explore the other side of the river Limmat where the old part of the city offers a host of sightseeing opportunities. There is another shopping mile, which sits alongside a host of cultural attractions. Indeed, Zurich’s old town is a cultural, social and historic melting pot. Its medieval houses, narrow lanes and town halls from the Renaissance period offer an attractive backdrop to a world of art and entertainment.
The double towers of the Grossmünster are one of Zurich’s most iconic landmarks – climb to the top to discover beautiful views over the city. Further sightseeing includes the Peterskirche, which has Europe’s largest clock face and the Fraumünster, which is famed for its stained-glass windows by greats Alberto Giacometti and Marc Chagall.
The world of art is prevalent throughout Zurich. Besides the famous University ZHdK, establishments including the Kunsthaus Zürich, Haus Konstruktiv and Museum für Gestaltung also embrace the spirit of creativity alive.
A great way to get around Zurich is the Polybahn: a funicular rail that transports around 50 passengers every two minutes. It brings you directly from the Old Town to the ETH and University of Zurich, which is yet another great spot for a stunning view over the city.
Zurich is home to a host of culinary hotspots. Enjoy traditional dishes such as Birchermuesli and Züri Gschnätzlets or sample delicacies from around the world. The city boasts many Michelin-starred restaurants, so gastronomes can extend their stay to savour the flavours.
