Old Town Bern is picturesque both in the day and night. Can take Bus 12 from main square to Bear Park and return. If you stay in hotel, can get activation code for free bus ride in Bernapp. Else, can park at Casino car park but it's expensive.

Visiting the Zytglogge was a highlight of my trip to Bern. This 13th-century clock tower is not just a beautiful landmark, it’s a piece of living history. I arrived a few minutes before the hour and was amazed by the mechanical figures and the precise chime—it feels like stepping back in time. The surrounding Old Town streets are charming, full of cafés and little shops, making it a perfect spot to explore after watching the show. Whether you love history, architecture, or just a great photo opportunity, the Zytglogge is a must-see in Bern.

Walking through Bern’s Old Town, I stumbled upon Bim Zytglogge and was instantly charmed. The area around the clock tower feels like a slice of history—cobblestone streets, medieval buildings, and the hourly show of mechanical figures on the astronomical clock. It’s a lively spot, with locals and tourists mingling, and plenty of cafés and shops nearby.

Such a nice Watch tower. Very interesting and of course, full of historical events to tell from it and its city, Bern. Really a great stop-by spot, a must when you'd like to see the spectacle of the watch with its figures moving at 6pm.

Its a big old clock. There is some entertaining bits on the west side every hour but dont expect anything dramatic like a giant cuckoo clock. Pretty cool though for an 800 year old piece of work.

Each corner of this town will make you feel to walking back in time. Such a beautiful place. You can visit the clock tower from inside for 10 chf

Zytglogge (Clock Tower) was built in 1220 as part of Bern’s western gate, becoming a civic clock tower after the city expanded. The astronomical clock was added in 1530 with moving figures such as bears, a jester, and Chronos, which perform each hour.

A captivating castle, or rather, a charming ruin, providing a picturesque setting to appreciate nature and the night sky. Occasional events, including fires on special occasions like New Year's Eve and some weekends featuring alcohol and food, add to the allure. The castle boasts a cozy atmosphere and surprisingly low light pollution, creating an ideal environment for star gazing.

Beautiful views from the top of the old castle ruins, and informative boards guide you through the structure. A nice way to spend 1-2 hours on a little hike. Not suitable for people less able to walk or baby buggies.

Nice castle ruins with a good view over the valley.

It's a nice, short hike up to the castle ruins. Great place for a picnic on a sunny day, very scenic.

Fantastic excursion goal. Calm, beutyful, harmonic...

This is a lovely place to visit. The ruins of the castle offer fantastic views across the whole Sundgau region, onto the Jura, Vosges, and Schwarzwald beyond. Ferrette is a nice little town with a few nice restaurants and Saturday market. Well worth the visit.

Very nice for walking(slight climb) with or without your pets. Very nice view of the surroundings once on top. Beautiful ruins from the castle.

If you love historic buildings, Bern’s Old City is a must-see. The medieval architecture is stunning, and the streets are beautifully clean and well-organized. Shops are thoughtfully placed, so you can enjoy the views while exploring. A truly charming and unforgettable experience!

In my opinion, Bern's old town is one of the most beautiful and compact in the world. Its specialty is the arcades formed by the old buildings lining the streets. The arcades are lined with shops, restaurants, bars, art galleries, etc. It is worth walking around the old town, also along the banks of the Aare River, and climbing to the Rosengarten to admire the magnificent view of the old town. Every time I visit Bern I feel amazed.

LOVE this pretty place! So historic and colorful, tons of lovely photo spots! Love the iconic fountain and huge clock tower, as well as all the cute trains and buses that came in different shapes and sizes 🚂🚌🇨🇭❤️. Was glad I dropped by Bern - after all it’s the capital of Switzerland, and a must drop by imo, even if it’s for a short day trip! 😆 I was really happy to be here 🥰👍.

I was recenly in Bern: what a wonderful place...!!! Right size and location, and enjoyed the sun and the rain while sketching! I"ll certainly be back!!! PS, A novel to recommend placed in Bern: Damnation, by Peyer Beck

A beautiful town, probably the nicest in Switzerland. In the morning it is less crowded and the streets are well conserved. The prices are really high, which makes the costs hardly affordable for foreigners

You are unwinding the clock back 500 years ago to experience the lifestyle in medieval time. The old street (made of sandstones), clock tower, cathedral surrounded by garden and river are breathtaking.

Beautiful and quaint little old town in the capital of Switzerland! I got there early so the streets were rather empty and it was nice taking a slow stroll down this street. The street was lined with familiar brands/shops, the trams ran down both sides and I almost felt like I was transported back to medieval times - except the modern shops bring me back to the present. If you walk further down, you’ll end up at the Bear Pit, another little tourist attraction of Bern.

Marvelous architecture. You can just sit inside for hours. The tower is a bit of hard climb but it is beyond worth it. The view from the top is amazing. You can see the entire city and the river. Really love it, highly recommended.

The Cathedral of Bern is truly a stunning landmark with impressive architecture and a commanding presence in the city. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the chance to go inside or climb the tower due to the opening hours — we arrived in the evening and left the next morning. It was a bit disappointing and sad, as we would have loved to explore it fully. Even from the outside, the cathedral is beautiful and worth visiting. A must-see for anyone in Bern, and definitely a reason to plan a longer visit next time!

Visited the Bern Cathedral and the climb to the top is definitely worth it. The view from up there is crazy, you can see the whole city, the river, everything. It’s one of those spots where you just stop and take it all in. At the top, there was this older gentleman working there who was honestly one of the highlights. He was super friendly and took the time to explain what we were looking at, the history, the mountains in the distance, and some really interesting details we wouldn’t have noticed on our own. Just a really good, genuine conversation. Made the experience feel personal. The cathedral itself is beautiful and detailed, but that view and the kindness up top really made it memorable.

**⛪✨ Awe-Inspiring Moments at Bern Cathedral! ✨⛪** Just stepped inside the **Bern Cathedral (Berner Münster)**—Switzerland’s tallest cathedral—and I’m utterly speechless! 😍 Soaring **100 meters high**, this Gothic masterpiece took my breath away with its intricate stone carvings, towering spire, and the **stunning stained glass windows** that bathe the nave in kaleidoscope colors. 🌈 Don’t miss the **Last Judgment sculpture** above the main portal—a jaw-dropping work of medieval art with over 200 figures! And if you’re up for a climb, the **344-step tower ascent** rewards you with sweeping views of Bern’s red rooftops, the Aare River, and the snow-capped Alps in the distance. 🏔️📸 **Pro tip**: Visit early to avoid crowds, and wear comfy shoes for the tower climb (totally worth it!). The cathedral’s peaceful interior is free to enter, but toss a few coins for the tower—it supports preservation! 💙

The main portal of Bern Minster is one of the most complete collections of Late Gothic sculpture. The tympanum depicts the Last Judgment, carved entirely by Erhard Küng, which gives the ensemble a remarkable unity of design. The wicked are shown naked on the right and the righteous clothed in white on the left, while in the center Archangel Michael holds a raised sword, overseeing the fate of souls. Flanking the doors, the left side depicts the five Foolish Virgins, the right side the Wise Virgins. The Dance of Death (Danse Macabre) stained glass window in Bern Minster was created in 1519 and depicts skeletons leading people from all walks of life—kings, clergy, peasants, and children—toward death, emphasizing the inevitability and universality of mortality. Bern Minster (Berner Münster), begun in 1421 and completed with its 100-metre tower in 1893, is the tallest church in Switzerland and a landmark of late Gothic architecture. It became Protestant in 1528 during the Reformation. The church has a three-aisled basilica plan with slender columns, high rib-vaulted ceilings, and flying buttresses supporting the nave, exemplifying the vertical emphasis and detailed craftsmanship typical of the late Gothic.

The church provided vital history about city and people. Always fascinating to see evolution of architecture over the centuries. Amazing how items like seating areas have been preserved since the late 1400’s.

Get the chance to go all the way up to see the city of Bern with a panoramic view. It costs 6chf to go up, but you will enjoy it. Just make sure to be a bit fit as it is a lot of stairs. The last entrance is at 16h30.

An amazing experience and a chance to see some brown bears in real life. Great for kids but also adults who miss their childhood. Right next to the river, the park is both scenic and entertaining.

I recently visited the Bear Park in Bern and it was such a delightful experience! Nestled along the scenic banks of the Aare River, the park offers a peaceful and natural environment where bears roam freely in spacious enclosures that mimic their natural habitat. The bears looked healthy and well cared for, and it was heartwarming to see them play, rest, and interact with their surroundings. The park is free to enter, which makes it a wonderful stop for families, nature lovers, or anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing moment in the city. It’s also just a short walk from the old town, so it’s easy to include in a day of sightseeing. Overall, Bear Park is a beautiful blend of nature, education, and conservation. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bern!

It’s quite astonishing to see a bear park right in the middle of the city — a truly unique setting. The enclosure is spacious, well-designed, and blends beautifully with the natural surroundings along the river. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into making it as comfortable as possible for the bears. Still, it’s a reminder that the animals are in captivity, which can feel a bit bittersweet despite the excellent care they receive.

The views are quite beautiful, and the bears are adorable, but I feel terrible they don't have more space to roam around in. They did build a little section in the river so when it is hot, the bears can at least cool down and fish :)

Love that they have a bear refuge near the city. They have so much room to roam. I would suggest adding more signs not to feed the bears or be fined. I saw some stupid kid form a different country throw something down in the bear area and the parents didn’t do anything.

Fantastic river walk along the Aare ends up at Bear Park. Complete with Bears! Stop off to spend some CHF for beers and food up top for great views.

Very nice attraction in the center of the town with a rare chance to see from close range real bears 🐻 very well designed for the wellbeing of the wild animals including also a swimming pool. Definitely a Must visit in the area

Very nice park at the top of Bern city, offering a place to rest and fantastic view. The restaurant is ideal to take a break from a walking tour, having all the city in "the plate". Very nice place for panoramic photos of the city and the river. A must visit

We were not able to have a table by the side, with the amazing view as we had not made a reservation. We came here on a whim. We were given 2 other seating options, 1 which we were warned we would be hit by the sun soon and the other on the other side near the kids playground on the high chair stools and table. The waitress who served us was super busy, there was a large party of 10 or so and lots of other small tables she was serving. She did her best to keep everyone happy. There was a bit of a wait time to order. Once the food came, it tasted good. However due to being summer, wasps started to appear and take over. The toilets are inside, downstairs, they were clean. Upon exiting the building we saw a huge amount of salad plates ready to go just sat on the side. Overall, it was good.

Nice restaurant with a beautiful view of the city. In a hot summer day you will not be able to dine inside because it’s extremely hot and there isn’t AC. We dined at the patio and unfortunately were invaded by dozens of flies as soon as our food was received. We prompted to move everything inside. Service is mediocre.

I loved it. They place is very nice and clean, with outstanding views. Service is great and fast. I took the chicken sandwich for a quick lunch and it was very good.

Great place and truly scenery. Quality service and quality food. Thanks to the Chef and team. I’ll repeat the visit whenever back to Bern. If you choose to come from the down town of Bern; be prepared to pull enough energy to walk up thru the hill, which is a nice little warm up and workout before arriving to the restaurant. Also, it’ll be great to spot coupe or bears from the bridge while heading to the restaurant.

A must stop for a lunch or coffee with view over Bern, amazing. The food was good too, especially the middle eastern mixed platter

Great food, went there for the fondue but turned out fondue only runs trough the winter and spring which we didn’t know. But all was good and amazing view over the city The photo is from winter which we had a coffee and chocolate warm milk, nice

Right at the heart of an underrated gem of a city! Always worth a stay or a short trip before heading further into Alpine Switzerland! 🇨🇭⛰️

It is very sad we have to leave early. We will spend more time next time there. I enjoyed ride my E-bike there. Nice smiley people.

I don’t know the meaning of the spctuler

Both kayaking and surfing are possible here. So cool and unbelievable!

Great place to be in Thun. Located in the heart of the city, at the border of the river, with wonderful views in all directions. A lot of various cafe's and restaurants, with hundreds of seats outside. Can be crowdy on sunny days. From there, you can go shopping behind the corner, or walk along the river up to the kindergarten. Wonderful views on the sunny alps. Wholeheartedly recommended!

A great place for locals and tourists with a wide selection of bars and restaurants to choose from. It is brilliant all year round and can have festivals and small theatres. Prices are average for Switzerland in most places here.

Sat on the large steps by the river Aare. Large Willow type trees. Just wonderful and clean.

We were in the area on vacation and decided to take a train down to Thun and look around. The castle is very prominent on the skyline and looks quite interesting. We walked though the building and looked at the various displays which were well done. Centuries of history briefly summarized. The building itself is the main attraction. We went all the way to the top into the corner towers. The roof structure was amazing. Definitely recommend!

Castle Thun is a must-see when visiting the town! The displays and information are well-curated, making it easy to explore everything in just 2–3 hours. There are also interactive sections, like the wooden architecture exhibit in the attic and rooftop area, and the fascinating collection of ancient armors and weapons. The castle is well-maintained, easy to navigate, and offers a great balance of history and experience.

Worth the trip. The castle is stunning and you can see artefacts of the Old Swiss Confederacy, such as halberds, tapestries and armors. The Knight's room and the room under the roof where particularly stunning. On top of that, 4 towers flanking the roof are accessible and give you wonderful views of the city

The basic castle tour was interesting, but I was disappointed to find that there were virtually no period furnishings in any of the rooms. The audio tour aid added tremendously to the understanding of the castle history. Look closely, though, to find the signs which indicate when to use the audio aid. I recommend paying the extra fee to use it. I enjoyed the views from the tower. I paid extra for the special exhibit, which I didn't feel was worth the fee; skip it unless you are interested in forms of medieval punishment.

Definitely do the audio tour if you come here! Beautiful castle with a lot of history and amazing views from the top! No need to book tickets in advance

Thun castle does not match the vibe of other castles of Switzerland like Gruyère castle and Chillion castle. The castle is poor in terms of content and exhibits. Not much to explore inside. The staff is very friendly and there are free locker rooms available to keep your luggage. The best part was the top level of Thun castle from where you get 4 different panoramic views of Thun city and Lake Thun. If you are visiting Thun city then definitely visit this place otherwise skip it. Entry to Thun castle is free with Swiss Travel Pass.

The view from above was nice. We had a walk and took some pictures. It’s worth a visit if you’re passing by the city!

Lake Thun is an absolutely stunning and romantic lake! I visited in 2019 with my family, and it was truly a memorable experience. The lake offers breathtaking views, crystal-clear water, and many beautiful picnic spots to relax and enjoy nature. It’s a perfect place for couples and families alike — you’ll surely fall in love with the peaceful vibes and scenic surroundings. One of Switzerland 🇨🇭 most charming lakes! 🌄⛵✨

Lake Thun is absolutely stunning! The serene waters and beautiful surrounding hills create a perfect atmosphere for families. Our children loved exploring the lakeside, watching the ducks, and simply enjoying the fresh air. Plenty of space to walk, relax, and soak in the views. A truly memorable spot that’s perfect for a family outing!

Perfect place to see sunset 🌅!! No words to describe this beautiful place!! There is an accomodation where you can stay and enjoy alot!!

A dreamlike corner of Switzerland: Lake Thun Switzerland is breathtaking in every way, but Lake Thun has a special kind of magic. Surrounded by mountains, charming villages, and historic castles, it’s the perfect place to disconnect, breathe in fresh air, and marvel at nature. The water has a mesmerizing turquoise color, and every spot looks like it belongs on a postcard. Whether you’re sailing, strolling along the shore, or simply sitting down to take in the view, this lake offers peace and beauty in its purest form.

Enjoyed this boat ride especially on a nice weather day. View was gorgeous.

Lake Thun has absolutely amazing scenery. We spent almost an entire day there and still couldn't get enough. Starting in the morning, we enjoyed the view from St. Beatus Cave, getting a panoramic picture of the lake from above. Then we continued our adventure by ship, circling the lake and savoring every corner. The lake has very clear water, with beautiful typical farmhouses and the Swiss Alps in the background, adding to the picturesque setting. Every corner of the lake was stunning, perfect for healing and taking a break from your busy life.

The morning view of Lake Thun from Beatenberg is simply breathtaking and worth waking up early for.

This zoo os great with kids. The surounding are made with so many details in mind, everything is green when you walk around. My kids and I loved it. There is great food stations too, amany animals. Especially the aquarium part is super big and nice too. The only downside, its in the middle of the city of Basel, a little hard to get too.

Love love this place- I went pretty late (4-6pm). Although I skipped the crowds, some of the animals were already in their enclosures (not in exhibit), but it didn’t detract from my joy of being there. Loved the vivarium, farm animals, snow leopard, flamingos, meerkats, and penguins. I would have loved to be able to see the new hippo baby though :(.

Zoo was good for a city zoo. I don't want to spoil it so only posted a miniscule amount of photos. I loved going into the bird house. It had some levels to it so find the elevator or stairs. Spent from just after 9am until 4pm.

It is very convenient. With stroller we could go through the whole Zoo. We were lucky we could see all the animals. They have huge space in the restaurant & also banks everywhere to sit.

A very nice zoo – not too big, not too small. There’s a great variety of animals, and even on rainy days you can enjoy several indoor areas. We always love coming here!

It's a very strange and beautiful place. They let the penguins walk freely in the zoo. However, the path was very clean. The staff there were very kind. Everything was good. I was there for 6 hours and I didn't want to leave at all. It was very enjoyable to be with the animals. I wish they were free in the wild, but the animals are having fun there too. The animals are definitely happy there. I recommend you to go there to enjoy being with nature.

What a lovely zoo- lots to see with a variety of animals. I particularly liked the giraffe enclosure. There was also a lovely coffee shop and gift shop near the entrance.

Impressive red building.... incredible architecture. The atrium with its stunning murals and the imposing statue is very interesting. It is located in the center of the city and certainly stands out because of its color.... free entry to the atrium is allowed!

The Rathaus (town hall)—very impressive red building with rich decorations inside. Seems like you need a tour to fully explore it though.

Basel Town Hall stands as an impressive cultural keepsake of the city. It is highly recommended to check out if you are close by, it also serves as a basis for the centre of the city and often has many pop-up shops close by and restaurants as well. There is a lot of history here if you’re wanting to know more about the city.

Basel city center can be explored in one day. Very atmospheric and the old city beautiful cathedral and red town hall! At Christmas festive atmosphere. very crowded and fun

Very beautiful symbol of Basel, don't forget to enter the yard, it's amazing too!

Brightly coloured bright red bricks with lots of character inside.

A very special municipal building surrounded by lots of clothing and food shops, a very picturesque and crowded area

Definitely worth the visit, the building is beautifully crafted. If you walk behind the building you will have an excellent view overlooking the River. Lots of people were having picnics and relaxing here.

Solo travelers are not allowed to climb the towers, for suicide prevention reasons. You can find another tourist and ask to accompany them, but without the employee seeing this. Don't let them know you are strangers. There's a small fee to climb the towers and it's well worth it. Basel Minster was built between the 11th and 16th centuries in a blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles. After the 1356 earthquake, it was significantly rebuilt incorporating Gothic elements such as pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and large stained-glass windows. The cathedral is made of red sandstone and is notable for its two main towers, St. George’s and St. Martin’s, and its patterned tile roof. The Minster served as the Catholic cathedral until the Reformation in 1529, after which it became a Reformed Protestant church. The Gallus Gate at Basel Minster is the oldest Romanesque figure portal in the German-speaking world, built around 1185. In the tympanum is Christ as Judge of the World, accompanied by Peter and a donor figure, while the lintel below shows the Parable of the Ten Virgins. During the Reformation in Basel (1529), iconoclasm took place at Basel Minster as part of the city’s shift from Catholicism to Protestantism. Religious images, statues, and altars that were seen as idolatrous were removed or destroyed. The interior today remains relatively bare compared to its original medieval design.

It was originally built in the 1000’s as a Roman Catholic Cathedral and became a Protestant church. There’s no fee to get in the church but there’s a fee to go up the top. Behind the church is the Rhine River.

Don’t miss the chance to reach the top of the church. While climbing, it might seem like you’ve reached the end, but be sure to check—there’s a good chance there’s a way to go even higher."

Had a free walk around then spotted people paying to go up the towers. We tried this for a small charge and it's well worth the steep steps to go to the 3 levels available. Bit tight at times depending on how many people go up but numbers are controlled.

A very beautiful and nice cathedral! You can have an amazing view over Basel from the top!

Basel Minster is absolutely worth a visit! I’ve climbed several church towers across Switzerland, but this one had the narrowest spire staircase I’ve ever squeezed through! It’s a bit of a tight spiral toward the top, but that only adds to the adventure. Once you reach the viewing platform, you’re rewarded with panoramic views of Basel, the Rhine, and even into France and Germany on a clear day. The cathedral itself is beautifully maintained, with intricate stonework and a peaceful courtyard. It’s a perfect mix of charm, challenge, and postcard-worthy scenery. Don’t miss it!

Wow! We wish we had had more time to see all the amazing art! Quiet and clean. Lockers for backpacks- easy to use. Put this on your to do list when you are in Basel. Give yourself 3 hours at least.

This museum is truly the treasure of Switzerland, imagine MoMA & The Met combined in one address. As an active art lover and collector, I have not spent too much time in this museum before unfortunately, as I had only been there for events during Art Basel week. Finally I had the chance to come back to Basel and dedicate some time for a thorough visit and viewing last week, and it was for nearly 6 hours, and every moment was well spent. The museums have two buildings connected by an underground tunnel, with vast permanent collections from Renaissance & Early Modern (15th-16th c.) with strong holdings from the Upper Rhine: Hans Holbein the Younger, the Amerbach Cabinet origins; 17th-18th Centuries, Flemish and Dutch masters (like Rubens, Rembrandt); 19th Century of Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Symbolism. Simply impressive collections from Monet, Cézanne, Manet, Van Gogh. Swiss artists too, such as Ferdinand Hodler. Then the 20th Century including major movement coverage: Fauvism, Cubism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Constructivism with Important works from artists: Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, Marc Chagall, Piet Mondrian etc. The collections from this era at this museum impressed me the most this time! The Post Modern / contemporary collections are also worthy investigating, from Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Helen Frankenthaler, Miriam Cahn, Dan Flavin, Kara Walker, Bruce Nauman, Calder and more. There are plenty of rooms to wonder with comfortable sofas in and out the exhibition halls, so you could really take time to experience the art, and it is never too crowded with too many phone cameras or noises around. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, very refreshing especially compared with other major museums around the world. Highly recommend it for art enthusiasts, families and it is a must visit when in Basel.

wonderful museum in the heart of Basel city. The two buildings offer a wider variety of historic and contemporary art. Well curated . Definitely a must go for a Basel visit.

The entry price is quite high, but if you’re into modern and contemporary art, there’s plenty to explore. The collection includes works by Picasso,Van Gogh, Kandinsky, and Holbein, among other major names. The architecture itself is impressive. clean, modern, and beautifully designed. Worth visiting if you enjoy art museums.

The paintings were good but to be honest they were not great! It felt mediaeval and repeated with the paintings and the work structures. The museum has an old museum and the new and of the two, I think the new section is good. Because of the reviews and recommendations on Google, one gets eager and also excited to visit this museum but for me it was just an ordinary museum with no great paintings on display. However the most humane and exceptional part of the museum visit are the people who manage the ticket counters and offices. They are kind, gracious and always always ready to help and assist. I would remember the visit to the most gracious lady sitting at the ticket counter, who asked me to check for the Basel card and advised me to call the hotel for the digital copy to save me some money. Also at the same time a couple offering me to share their card with me, even asking me if they can pay half the amount for me. That was generous of them, I assured them that money is not the issue but the kind lady just wanted to save my money. I got the card through my mail in about 15 minutes and more than me the lady at the counter was happy. That's the beauty of Basel and its people! I took the tour and was happy to not miss it because it was more than a tour for me. The building is amazingly attractive and thoughtfully built. The surrounding area is just like another place within the old World charm of that area, just a few minutes away from the munster!

This was the most humiliating and hostile museum experience I have ever had. An employee wrongly accused me of taking a photo, which I was not, then followed me upstairs. He walked back and forth with another staff member, laughing and staring at me. Later, he deliberately waited for me, locked eyes, and stood there until I spoke. When I asked why he was staring, we had a full conversation where he mocked me, laughed at me, and bullied me instead of acting professionally. It felt like he wanted to provoke me into a confrontation. I am a quiet, respectful visitor, and it felt like he singled me out as an easy person to intimidate. Instead of enjoying the art, I was harassed until I left the museum in tears. For such an expensive ticket, this treatment is completely unacceptable. A museum should be a place of inspiration and safety, not surveillance, intimidation, and humiliation. I strongly recommend avoiding this museum if you expect basic respect as a visitor.

It's nice. Not outstanding. The collection is a bit of a random mix and it's curated in a strange way. Not that much art really, but I did like the medieval art they had.

Brilliant and ecological

2 Francs well spent such a lovely way to cross the river

It takes only a couple of minutes to get from one shore to the other but it's great fun. Also, the ticket for this unique vehicle is surprisingly cheap.

Very nice ferry boat over the Rhein. Very friendly and helpful ferry boat man. Loved it.

Contemporary crossing of river Rhein, on a traditional ferry. 😍

great experience! recommended to anyone visiting Basel especially with kids

Fun cheese fondue on the Rhine ferry

If you're in or neat Lucerne Mount Pilatus is a must see. I took the train from Lucerne to Alpnachstad and then took the cog train up the mountain. I had absolutely perfect weather and the views were stunning. There is a restaurant multiple lookout points and a few trails I hiked. I then took the gondola down the other side of the mountain. Highly recommend!

A definite must do,we had the silver round trip journey and it was well worth it,went up via the cable car and gondola and down by the cog train The views were amazing 👏 also the dragons caves were cool

Beautiful views all around. Be careful about visiting during spring, as parts of the viewing decks may be closed because of snow as late as early june in my experience. The facilities are new and very nice. I would recommend to take the cog rail up, and the gondola down the mountain for the best experience. Worth every penny.

WoW WoW WooooooW An absolute must see! It is a bit expensive to go up but what an insanely gorgeous experience to see lucerne and the alps from here. We took the cog wheel up and the gondola down. INCREDIBLE

My visit to Mount Pilatus was absolutely unforgettable! The entire journey — from the climb up through stunning mountain landscapes to the breathtaking views at the top — felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The combination of thrilling rides, fresh mountain air, and panoramic scenery makes it a must-visit destination in Switzerland. The facilities are well-organized, clean and tourist-friendly. The staff were helpful and very professional, making the experience smooth from start to finish. Whether you take the world’s steepest cogwheel railway or the aerial cableways, the adventure is incredible in every way. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Switzerland — Mount Pilatus truly feels like being on top of the world!

What a spectacular place! If you are visiting Switzerland, spend some hours at Mt. Pilatus. I took the steap railway to the top, but you can also choose to hike.

Mount Pilatus was definitely a highlight of the trip to Switzerland. The weather in mid September was cooperative (it was as warm and sunny on the mountain as in Lucerne). Classic trip as advised: bus, cable cars to the mountain and trip back via cog-wheel train and lake cruise ending in Lucerne. Nature beauty is unreal, hiking a few paths at the top (paved or stairs) is almost a must. Utter surprise how tasty were the local beef hot dogs at the fast food joint on the mountain.

It’s very chill and quiet for people who are looking for low key events

Very nice experience, especially when using the outdoor pool during a snow.

Beautiful place and really friendly staff. Highly recommended for anyone in the area. Loved watching the clouds drift across the dusky sky, after a spell in the sauna, and especially the Aufguss ceremonies they perform every hour, the scent they used was magical.

Great place, even in winter. Warm water and you can go swim outside and dunk into the snow for that incredible sauna feel. Rather small though, so go when everybody is out to ski.

It can be really crowded. Otherwise, it is nice to stop and go for a warm swim surrounded with mountains.

Lovely warm water. Clean changing rooms. Inside and outside pool.

Keep out of this place!!! The unsatisfied and arrogant employees will ruin any relax you may painstakingly gain here!! Better keep out of this hole!

Nice renaissance-style town hall and clock tower. Worth a visit on a rainy day to see the architecture. Outside, a working clock tower with an ornate face.

Awesome old town clock and city hall in the heart of the Old Town. It's located very close to the Reuss river and offers some great photos.

A very nice city to visit.

Worth a stop if you're checking out old town.

There is nothing here except a town hall and a clock tower

In this landmark is a beautiful clock tower. Although it isn't very comparable to other, more well-known, clock towers, it's still a nice piece of history in the city and makes for a pretty good photo opp

Nice To visit when you are in Lucerne. Part of the walking tour

We had a wonderful experience visiting the Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke) in Lucerne. It was a beautiful evening, and the entire setting felt almost magical. The iconic wooden bridge, with its charming roof and historic paintings, reflected perfectly in the calm waters of the Reuss River—making it one of the most picturesque spots we’ve seen in Switzerland. What made the experience even more special was the atmosphere around the bridge. As we walked through, the gentle lighting and the flower decorations along the bridge added to the charm. Right nearby, the Old Town was buzzing with life. The streets were lively with cafés, restaurants, and little shops, making it a joy to stroll through. The blend of history, culture, and energy gave the whole area a very warm and welcoming vibe. Walking across the bridge and then meandering through the cobblestone streets of Old Town felt like stepping into a postcard. The combination of medieval architecture, colorful buildings, and the vibrant evening atmosphere made the entire experience unforgettable. If you are in Lucerne, visiting Chapel Bridge is absolutely a must-do, especially in the evening when the city lights and reflections on the river create such a breathtaking scene. It’s not just a landmark—it’s a place that captures the heart and soul of Lucerne.

Chapel Bridge lives up to the hype being the most iconic outdoor attraction in Lucerne. Pictures of the bridge from the river shore streets are more scenic than photos taken from the bridge itself. Given that fire of 1993 destroyed at least two thirds of the bridge, don’t expect too much from exposed paintings. Fortunately, Water Tower was spared and bridge was rebuilt and reopened in 8 months carefully reconstructed to preserve historic details.

Lucerne is beautiful city. The Chapel Bridge is one of the iconic attractions of the city. Very beautiful bridge with nice view of the river and the surrounding.

Beautiful bridge which has significant history; there had been a fire in the 90's but apart from some blackened sections it had been repaired. It was not crowded. It provided lovely views of the mountains, lake and Luzern itself. The wood is lovely and the craftsmanship is evident everywhere with examples of quality joinery etc. It's a short walk from the main railway station. I found it peaceful and calming. We were out of season.

The Chapel Bridge is an absolute gem in the heart of Lucerne. This historic wooden bridge, adorned with beautiful flower boxes, offers stunning views of the Reuss River and the charming old town. Walking across feels like stepping back in time, especially with the unique triangular paintings under the roof that tell stories from Lucerne’s past. It’s not just a bridge—it’s an experience that combines history, architecture, and breathtaking scenery.

Walked across Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke) in Lucerne, and it was absolutely beautiful. The historic wooden bridge, decorated with colorful flowers and paintings, stretches across the Reuss River with a breathtaking backdrop of mountains and old town buildings. The reflection of the bridge in the calm water adds to its charm, especially around sunset. The whole area has a peaceful yet lively vibe — full of history and beauty. It’s one of those places that perfectly captures the spirit of Switzerland: calm, timeless, and picturesque.

It is a very nice, special place, always beautiful the flowers at the bridge. Mass tourism, a photogenic square, easily accessible from the train station and ship station.

As a tourist attraction, the Lion Monument is relatively small in scale, yet it draws a large number of visitors. The sculpture of the dying lion is strikingly lifelike, full of emotion and quiet power. In front of the carving lies a small reflecting pool, where a few lonely fallen leaves float on the water, adding to the somber mood of the place. Overall, the visit takes about 5–10 minutes. No tickets required.

A truly impressive monument, much bigger than I expected and really beautiful. The Lion of Lucerne is carved directly into the rock to honor the Swiss Guards who died during the French Revolution. The expression of the lion is incredibly realistic and moving. The surrounding park and pond make it a peaceful place to stop and reflect. Definitely worth a visit!

The Lion Monument is located in Lucerne, Switzerland, it is a massive rock commemorating the Swiss Guards who were killed defending King Louis XVI during the French Revolution in 1792. It is a very peaceful and tranquil place to visit, as there is a small reflection pool at the base with lovely trees and flowers around. It is easy to find and an easier walk to get there.

You reach this historic monument with a short walk from the Lucerne chapel bridge of course you can take a shirt ride for free if you a Lucerne city pass. Mostly crowded as it’s a busy spot everyone wants to take a picture with lion. This is a place built in memory of soldier’s There is is wc near the zone. Easily accessible for all

Lion monument was made to honour mercenary soldiers of Switzerland who died during the French revolution. The monument is stunning with huge lion sculpture in a rock with high level detailing. The surroundings are very beautiful and this is an ideal place for photoshop. Don't miss out to see the reflection of lion monument in the small lake below it. This is a must visit place in Lucerne and an important part of Swiss history.

Magnificent though-provoking monument to Swiss guards who died defending French king at the revolution times, emphasizing sacrifice by the people who fulfilled their professional duties to the end at the cost of their lives. It’s a small public park easily accessible by 10 mins walk from Lucerne lake shore. There are restrooms onsite, also expect the park to be crowded almost at any time of the day.

Shaded area with a calm pond and beautifully carved sculpture. There are historical and interpretive signs all around, plus a few benches. Additionally, we found the most technologically-advanced, free public restrooms we'd ever seen here - I seriously almost took a photo of the inside of it!

Beautiful stunning lake with breathtaking view of the alps. There are boat rides available if you are so inclined. Really lovey pristine lake with a magnificent view.

It is one of the most beautiful lakes in the whole of Europe, in my opinion. Obviously, the Alps on one side and Lucerne city on the other side give it ample backdrop for those picture-perfect photographs, but still :) Do not miss the boat rides available from Lucerne harbor. You'll thank me when you take one :)

The lake is absolutely stunning, with calm, clear water. The view feels like something out of a dream, peaceful and unforgettable. Especially loved the yellow bench by the lake side.

Lucerne is a beautiful place with a wonderful atmosphere. The walks along Lake Lucerne and the views of the Alps make this place a magical experience. I can't wait to visit again in August.

Nice lake with clear waters and the view of mountains. You can take a boat ride around the lake

Located in the middle of Lucerne city, surrounded by the beautiful Alps Hills. Lake Lucerne is a very picturesque one, probably one of the most beautiful lake in Switzerland. Also is one of the main attractions of Lucerne (while it also has become one of the most recognizable images of the country). It is a symbol of the city and gives a sublime beauty on sunny days. Especially when even the nearby peaks are still snow-covered and can be seen in the background the Pilatus, majestic. There are many boats that allow you to traverse the lake and cross from one bank to another or even cruise excursions to nearby towns. It's a pretty big lake reaching over 210 meters. PS:- Highly Recommended for taking a boat tour around it to enjoy the tranquil beauty it holds.

The shimmering blue waters, snow-kissed alpine peaks, and storybook villages nestled along Lake Lucerne’s shores. Hear the gentle splash ocutting through the lake, mingled with the cheerful chatter of fellow travellers. Feel ithe crisp mountain air and the magic of Switzerland unfolding before your eyes.

The access from Luzern is convenient. While I went sightseeing, the souvenir shop at the station kindly kept my suitcase for me. The staff there were very friendly and kind, and I ended up buying some souvenirs afterward. The view from the mountain was beautiful. Although it was cloudy at first, the clouds gradually cleared, and I was able to fully enjoy the scenery.

Really nice view!!! I love it! But be careful if you go too late like me and decide to go down with a cable car 🚠 it cost 30€ UNBELIEVABLE

Really enjoyed our ride up the funicular to the top. We then used the restroom on the top, had a quick meal, took a few photos, and then begun our descent. We walked as far as we could on the day down before getting tired and joining a funicular stop down. Along the way there were a few homes that opened as mini stop areas for food. No ticks no bugs, really great to be at a high altitude. Plenty of cows and bells welcoming you along the way.

Incredible views on the the way to the top from Lucerne. Great for a day trip you will enjoy the views without a doubt.

We took a ferry from Luzern (just outside of Luzern train station) and after one hour got off at Vitznau. The mountain railway is just outside the station, and with 30 min it took us to the top of Rigi. After 40 min walk we reached Rigi Kaltabad, from where we took a cable and with 5 min we were down to Weggis, another 15 min walk we got to the ferry station and boarded the ferry back to Luzern. All is covered by Swiss Travel Pass. The view alongside the journey is splendid.

One of my favorite mountain :) You can take the tram all the way up to the near top of the mountain. The tram takes about 10-15 minutes to reach the top.

May 2025: first time visiting the Rigi, Switzerland. Took the train and then the Funicular to the top. Spent some time walking around before heading down to a restaurant for a great Rösti (grated potato). Amazing views from the summit of the lakes and other surrounding mountains.

Facilities are really nice, nice cosy feeling. The rooms and beds are confortable. The host and staff are welcoming. The only downer of our experience was the dinner which really wasn’t up to expectations. 20 euros for a tiny salad, cold rice, a pathetic portion of schnitzel and a reheated waffle. It is a pity as it spoiled our impression of the place. I would recommend the place for families with kids. But would avoid dining in at all. Breakfast was nice.

Everything was perfect One of the cleanest room I’ve ever seen the pool sauna and workers especially verena’s family welcomed us so warmly. Thx u so much for the foods special desserts and live musics. Although our vacation was short u opened ur heart for us🤍🖤 VERENA HOTEL 4-EVERRRR

Rooms and bathroom are small.but overall hotel is good

(Translated by Google) The hotel is generally acceptable: the location near a lush fir forest but close to a highway could be improved. The facilities are decent but need improvement. Our room was a boiler room, with no west-facing blinds, so we couldn't get in during the afternoon. The bathroom needs a cabinet over the sink and glass or similar shower curtains; the plastic ones are very unhygienic. The dining room lacks space to arrange the buffet, and it runs out quickly when we go in a group. The music during dinner should be at an appropriate volume so we can talk to our colleagues without shouting. However, they have made an effort to make our stay as pleasant as possible. (Original) El hotel es en general aceptable: la ubicación cerca de un frondoso bosque de abetos pero cerca de una autopista, es mejorable. Las instalaciones son dignas pero necesitan mejoras, nuestra habitación era una caldera de calor, sin persianas orientada al oeste, no se podía entrar por la tarde; el cuarto de baño necesita un mueble en el lavabo y unas cortinas de cristal o similar en la ducha, las de plástico son muy poco higiénicas. En el comedor falta espacio para colocar los alimentos del bufet y se acaban enseguida cuando vamos en grupo. La música durante la cena debe tener un volumen adecuado que nos permita hablar con los compañeros sin necesidad de gritar. No obstante, se han esforzado por que nuestra estancia fuera lo más agradable.

(Translated by Google) We wanted to sign up for breakfast (we have a gourmet book), but were told that if there were no guests, we wouldn't be offered breakfast. Then, days later, we tried it for dinner at 6:00 p.m., but were again turned away, saying, "No time." We definitely won't be back, so we wouldn't give it a star. (Original) Wir wollten uns zum Frühstücken anmelden, (besitzen einen Schlemmerblock) dann wurde uns mitgeteilt , wenn keine Gäste da sind wird uns kein Frühstück angeboten. Dann hatten wir es Tage später zum Abendessen 18.00 Uhr probiert und wurden wieder hungrig abgewiesen mit der Bemerkung "keine Zeit." Wir kommen bestimmt nicht wieder ,,würde daher auch keinen Stern vergeben

Super

(Translated by Google) We went there for dinner with the gourmet block, appointment at 6 p.m. and everything started well, the boss gave us our first information: we had to leave by 7:30 p.m. The food arrived at 7:45 p.m., so we weren't leaving by 7:30 p.m. The food was terrible, the fried potatoes didn't even see the pan, and the hunter's schnitzel with spaetzle was barely in the pan. Price-performance ratio is not good at all. The boss was so generous that she knocked €1 off the price. We'll definitely never go there again, and why they took part in the gourmet block is a mystery to me. (Original) Waren zum Essen mit dem Schlemmerblock da, Termin um 18:00 Uhr und alles hat gut angefangen, erste Info von der Chefin wir müssen bis 19:30 Uhr wieder weg sein . Das Essen kam dann um 19:45 Uhr also war schon mal nichts mit 19:30 Uhr wieder weg. Das Essen war unter aller Kanone, die Bratkartoffeln haben die Pfanne nicht gesehen und das Jägerschnitzel mit Spätzle hat man kaum in der Pfanne gefunden . Preis Leistung geht gar nicht. Großzügig wie die Chefin dann war hat sie am Preis 1€ nachgelassen. Sicher gehen wir nie mehr da hin und warum die beim Schlemmerblock mitgemacht ist mir ein Rätsel.

Uetliberg offers a panoramic view of the entire city of Zurich. The mountain is beautifully surrounded by nature, providing a serene and relaxing atmosphere. It is an ideal spot for sightseeing and enjoying the natural landscape.

Beautiful view of Zurich and surrounding area. Only a little over hour hike from the bottom to the top. Highly recommend

On the one day I had to visit Uetliberg, the trains were closed. There were replacement busses. It was still very convenient to get there, and then get back to the city centre when I was done. The views are breathtaking. Make it a priority to budget some time to visit Uetliberg when in Zurich.

We had a fantastic time here! Getting to this beautiful location is a breeze, with buses and trains stopping right there. The hiking trails are easy to navigate, and the views are absolutely breathtaking. On a clear day, you get a full panoramic vista of Lake Zürich and the majestic Alps. The whole area is wonderfully clean, which really makes the experience even better. At the summit, you can take a well-deserved break and enjoy the view. You can bring your own food or buy something from the food stand or the 'Top of Zürich' restaurant. For an unforgettable perspective, be sure to pay the small fee to climb the view tower—it's worth it! A friendly tip: remember to have some coins handy for the public restrooms!!!

If you’re in Zürich, Uetliberg is a must. Take the S10 commuter train from Zürich HB - it stops at Triemli if you want to start a longer hike, or you can ride it all the way up to Uetliberg station. From there it’s a short uphill walk; you should be reasonably surefooted, but it’s not too difficult. At the top you’re rewarded with a perfect panorama of the city, the lake (Zürisee), and on clear days even the Alps.

This is a must if you are visiting Zurich, it provides great views of the city. You can hike up to the summit or take public transport. As my son can't walk far we chose public transport. Normally you can get the train but it's not currently running although there was a replacement bus service. The bus dropped us about ten mins from the top and we walked the final section. At the top there's plenty to do, a food truck and a restaurant up there. You can also head up the tower for an even better view, it costs 2 swiss francs payable by card at the gate. One thing you need to do is make sure the transaction goes through before someone comes down or you could be charged without going through.

Awesome place, the view is excellent. The walk t access to the cable car is wonderful.

Nice to walk along the street with all high end brands, top tier private banks, chocolate and accessory shops. Of course lots of restaurants and bars too!

This place is only for ultra luxury shopping, there are few other economical shops do exits bit they are slightly off to the main street and they are equally good. Zurich lake and Limmat is nearby.

Considered one of the most expensive retail streets in the world we decided to have a look not long after arriving in Zurich. After deciding against a 2 grand backpack we strolled around before making a sharp exit. Well worth a visit. And if you have money you burn and would rather spend it on extravagant purchases than helping people then this is the place for you.

This is a lively street lined with restaurants and shops. Lots of tourists make this a stop on their lists.

Beautiful and there are several luxury shops where prices are very high.

Good place for luxery shopping

Shopping, shopping and more shopping!!! Nice walk on this avenue.

Poor service. That lady did not help me with finding a gift card. Her role was basically to issue the receipt. For that job a machine would me optimal.

Massive place. Busiest train station in Switzerland. Go straight to Tourist Information in the large old building. Take a number - get all you questions answered.

Moleskin section is very good. They have a good book selection but keep in mind that is a small shop.

Solid train station. Many trains are arriving and departing everyday 5pm-1am. Most of them on time. Weekends all night trains.

Not a lot selection in english

The nicest shop assistant I met. They also have a decent coffee machine.

This place is very organized. This place is crowded most of the time since this is the main train station of Zurich.

Like many other reviews of this place - great steak, poor service. We arrived towards the closing of this restaurant around 10:45pm but were welcomed in after the waiter checked the time. This changed quickly however when we ordered - the staff hurried us out the restaurant by packing up every single table around us, moving our items off of an adjacent table to close up, and even asking to give us our bill rather than the other way round. Did not feel like well looked-after customers when many other bars and restaurants in the same street were full of patrons at this time and not rushing them at all. The steak and quality of food was brilliant, but the service needs a lot of improvement else would not return again.

We visited Steak House Old Town without ordering any beef, and overall, the experience was just average. Chicken Breast: Unfortunately, this was a letdown. It was quite dry and tough to chew, lacking the tenderness you'd expect. Grilled Salmon: Decent, but nothing memorable. It was cooked fine, though not particularly flavorful. Duck: Also just okay. It didn’t stand out, but it wasn’t bad either. Sides: The sides were the highlight of the meal. The potato with sour cream was excellent—creamy and well-seasoned. The spinach was fresh and tasty, and the fried sweet potato was crispy and satisfying. Soup: We tried the coconut soup. It was rich and creamy, but the coconut flavor was overpowering, making it a bit too intense for our taste. Service was fine, and the ambiance was cozy, but based on the dishes we tried, we wouldn’t rush back. Perhaps the beef options are better, given it's a steakhouse.

Super good steak for a reasonable price - meat was soft and juicy. Meat was served on a hot plate, so every bite was fresh and hot! Staff was super nice and friendly, made us feel very welcomed :)

Best steak I've ever had! While walking along the street In Zurich to find somewhere for dinner we happened upon this restaurant where we could smell the mouthwatering steak before seeing it. A quaint little restaurant with a lovely outside seating area where you cook your steak on a hot stone.. having been on a train all day from Vienna we were ravenous so decided to go for the Tomahawk for 2 and let me tell you it did not disappoint. The most amazing juicy steak we have ever had!!! And even though the steak by itself was more than enough for 2 people.. the complimentary sides of veg and rosemary potatoes were incredible! Even though the food was sensational the service outshone it, never once did our glasses get slightly empty and the staff were incredible and so helpful with any questions asked about Zurich in general! Could not recommend this place more! Definitely worth a visit!!

I loved the food. Best beef I have tasted. Very nice staff also. Recommend!

the meat was very, very tasty I really enjoyed frying it until it was done just the way you want it on a special stone plate) the tartare was divine good servicе)

They did not allow us to have just the appertizers without main meal. We left. Good luck! We found wonderful tapas place instead.

An incredible museum, with access to two two-floor buildings filled with masterpieces. We explored the main museum first and got to see so many wonderful paintings from artists like Van Gogh, Monet, Manet, Picasso and so many others, but I saw that they had the second largest Munch collection and when I asked they told me it's in the second building. Went through the underground tunnel and there he was on the second floor. I was left speechless and spent hours and hours going through all the wonderful rooms. Would definitely visit again!

Cultural jewel in the heart of Zurich - Kunsthaus truly impressed.We didn't expect to discover such a remarkable collection of great masters - Rembrandt, Dutch classics, Monet, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Chagall, Modigliani... an entire constellation of art legends. One of the highlights was a striking passage hall showcasing works by the famous Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler. The museum also includes a piece by Alberto Giacometti, the globally recognized Swiss sculptor known for his distinctive style. The spaces are bright and spacious, making it easy to linger and absorb the atmosphere. Lockers are available for storing personal items - a thoughtful convenience. And the museum shop? A delight, as always. I'm drawn to art museum stores, and this one felt like a mini treasure hunt - full of creative finds and unique keepsakes. Conclusion: Zurich shines with artistic brilliance - a true cultural powerhouse

The Kunsthaus Zurich boasts a vast collection, divided into two sections: the Old and the Old. Some of the works are truly magnificent, and even someone like me, who doesn't know much about art, finds them truly stunning. I wouldn't be able to fully explain them, though. Whether you're an art enthusiast or a tourist, this is a place worth visiting.

Nothing short of outstanding in every aspect. I new I was going to see artwork old and not so old of many big-name artists, but the excellent way the collections were arranged and information provided on the artists etc. together with practical aspects (the two very spacious beautiful buildings across the street are connected with a pleasant subterranean walkway, there are cloakrooms with plenty of lockers, many toilets, two cafeterias, an amazing souvenir shop, and very helpful staff everywhere), all that made for a beautiful day at Kunsthaus Zürich. I thought kids would not be bored and surely love for instance an amazing LED lights and sound show, or an all-around video projection.

Incredible museum in Zurich, it's a must when you visit the city. We received free entry with our Zurich card. Plenty of rooms, floors, and items to visit during your time here. In fact it's the largest art museum in Switzerland. There's a tram stop right outside so it's well serviced by public transport. Definitely worth a look.

The museum offers free entry on every Wednesday to collections and small exhibitions, and it totally worth it. A fee can be paid extra for an audio guide. Impressive art from 14th to nowadays periods are exposed, and it could take up to 2 hours to see everything. The collections are very impressive along with the architecture of the museum building as well. Visitors are not allowed with bottles of water so I had to go up and down to the locker room few times due to incomplete guidance I received at the reception in regards the luggage rule.

Love the collections! Well curated exhibition galleries with a variety of art styles! Not to mention the expansive collection of Giacometti’s and Hodler’s artworks. The architecture of Moser building also provides a lot of details to observe. Definitely will go again!

This was a really great experience! We were lucky to come on such a sunny day. They were doing some renovations which was a bit disappointing, but it was still fun. There's a couple steep metal slides for kids, an aquarium, a farmhouse, and much more!

Really impressed by the Zurich zoo. It's a very large space with panoramic views, plenty of amenities and carefully designed enclosures for the animals that give them plenty of space to explore and hide. The rainforest dome with its tree canopy walk is a highlight, as are the snow leopards. The leopardess had three cubs in spring 2025, and watching them play was absolutely delightful. The zoo has a great balance of large animals (lions, giraffes, llamas, kangaroos,....) and small animals (fish, insects, tree frogs), all sensitively housed and explained. You could easily spend a whole day there. The setting is hilly, so it does take some stamina to walk through. It's only 15 minutes by tram from central Zurich. A great choice for a tourist on a Monday when the museums are closed.

The zoo itself it's very user friendly, it has food stands on the paths, the food is very expensive though. Some of the animals look depressed, specially the elephants. Other than that, it's a beautiful experience, walking outdoors and enjoying the company of your family or your special ones

It was a huge zoo with lots of cool stuff. Loved that the animals had sprawling enclosures. But many of the animals were nowhere to be found, with no explanation or signage. We'd walk a mile+ with the kids to see the lions or gorillas and discover they're not there that day?? It was also incredibly crowded. We went on a random Wednesday day in August and the line to buy tickets for anyone who hadn't bought online was very long.

Nice place, you can tell they take well care of the animals, it was also clean and had many WC on the way. It is a big area to cover, better go with time (3-4 hrs if with children). It has many places to buy snacks and some restaurants with playground too. Service is very friendly. You can download the App and have a realtime map. We will sure visit again.

Love this zoo! Great place to visit if you happen to stop in Zurich! The animals habitats are so cute and it really looks like they take care of the place and animals! Tickets are not a bad price and the food court is great. The goat bridge was our favorite place!

Really enjoyed our trip to the zoo, a great day out for adults and children. Lots of great animals, we saw the snow leopards and the three cubs, tigers, elephants, rhinos, giraffes etc. Kids zoo was a lot of fun, you can climb in to a lot of the enclosures and pet the animals if they come over to you. Lots of the animals have some of the best enclosures we have seen in comparison to other zoos. Toilets were very clean and there were lots available. Even when our child was stung by a wasp, someone was available to help quickly which was really appreciated. Food was OK, some places didn't have great options but others did. Gift shop was nice, didn't feel over priced depending on what you were wanting. Would recommend booking online to avoid waiting in the queue for tickets if you have young children.

I had always wanted to visit this tranquil little place, the source of mighty river Danube! It was open for public, no entrance fee whatsoever, it was just a small part of a huge park, you access it from the street with the stairs or small elevator.. the church next door had a terrace overlooking the pond..anyway parking was kind of difficult

Visiting the Source of the Danube was a fascinating experience. It’s very interesting to see where this famous river begins, knowing that it travels over 2,800 km and passes through many Eastern European countries before reaching the Black Sea. The site itself is simple but meaningful, and it’s worth a stop if you enjoy history, geography, or just learning unique facts about Europe.

As a romanian citizen i could say this visit is something special for me. You can find a parking place before the palace starts in front of the school in weekend. Walk 5 min until the top on the. On thw other side is a shop where you can buy souvenirs and ask the nice guy for a map. where can you visit "the other side" where the 2 rievers meet about 15 20 min. A beautiful place to walk in nature

Very interesting. It was raining on the day we visited so difficult to tell that the spring was really springing. No entrance fee which was nice.

Was nice to see where danube starts from. A shame that the lights are not turned on every night. Was hoping to see it lit up but eventually I found out they only turn them on on special occasions.

It's a shame it isn't better maintained. But on zhe whole definitely worth the visit.

Incredible spot and even more spectacular after seeing the Danube running through Central Europe.
