Paradeplatz, Zürich, Switzerland

  • Address Bahnhofstrasse
    8001 Zurich
    Switzerland
  • Phone number+41 44 215 4000(Tourist Information)
  • Neighborhood : Kreis 1: Altstadt

This is where the heart of Switzerland beats: the biggest banks, two luxurious hotels and the traditional café "Sprüngli" surround this square that consists mainly of a big streetcar station. The place is scarcely more than a traffic crossing without cars - just pedestrians and streetcars. You can distinguish the exclusivity of this place by the wardrobe of the female passers-by and the volume of high-class shops nearby. The square thus represents the real character of Zurich: a little bit bourgeois and conservative like the "gnoms of Zurich".
