Arboretum Zurich

Highlight • Forest

The Rentenwiese is officially called Arboretum, after the Latin word for tree – arbor. However, the population mostly calls the park Renti or Rente, after the nearby Rentenanstalt. The Arboretum is part of the Quaianlagen, inaugurated in 1887, and is considered a historic garden monument of Zurich today.

Zurich Opera House

Highlight • Monument

Not only does Zurich's cultural and festival life take place here, but also the famous Sechseläuten festival takes place every spring, when the even more famous "Böögg" is burned. The opera house is right next door.

Utoquai Lakeside Promenade

Highlight • Trail

As the name suggests, promenades are the order of the day here. But the lake promenade is also very good as a promising running route.

Pumpstation Restaurant

Highlight • Restaurant

The Pumpstation restaurant has been open since 1998, it is an outdoor grill restaurant on the promenade directly on Lake Zurich with the best view of the lake basin and the Uetliberg. Here you sit in a relaxed atmosphere directly by the lake and can, a little bit higher, watch the goings-on of the people on the lake promenade.
The only problem is getting a seat after work (and when the weather is nice).
OFFER:
Simple, delicious grill menu, medium price category. Including the legendary Pumpi-Spiess, wonderful leaf salads and one of the best “Herdöpfel salads” far and wide, as well as local beers.
The grill in the middle of the restaurant is a pleasure to watch while grilling.


OPENING HOURS
From spring to autumn, only not open when it rains.

Townhouse

Highlight • Religious Site

City Hall

In 1883/84, an administrative building in the Neo-Renaissance style was constructed at the corner of Fraumünsterstrasse and Kappelergasse under the direction of city architect Arnold Geiser.

Between 1898 and 1900, ETH professor Gustav Gull expanded Geiser's building into the present-day City Hall. This historicist building combines various stylistic elements: The facade is predominantly Neo-Gothic, although elements from other stylistic periods can also be found. The glass-roofed arcaded courtyard, on the other hand, is designed in the Neo-Renaissance style.

The City Hall presents a soaring facade to the main side, facing the Limmat River. The stepped gable front of the central projection lends the building a monumental quality.

Bahnhofstrasse, Zurich

Highlight • Structure

Diving into Bahnhofstrasse from the train station, the shops become more expensive and exclusive with every meter you go. At its end towards Lake Zurich, money reigns. You simply have to see it once.
