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.

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!

Amazing experience at roots today We are plant based ( vegan) and seek out quality vegan eating options when we travel . I found Roots with Google Maps, what a find ! Great friendly service, clean healthy, ingredients, super calm atmosphere and central location. Tasteful combination of ingredients in our protein bowls. The berry protein smoothie was a delight. I was told that had rice, protein, so my expectations were that it would have a some gritty texture It’s a fairly small space Large windows at back of restaurant, beings in natural light , One of the side walls is all glass, which adds to the spacious feeling The decor is clean and modern . Staff are engaging and come across as being proud to providing customers with a quality dining experience. It’s got a great vibe Defiantly a place that we would like to come back to soon Thanks, and I will be back.

Great place, very fresh, very quick. Cashier is also very friendly. The food has big portions for the price, the vegetables and the salad is very well prepared. I'd come here again and would try out probably everything if I could. The matcha latte was alright, kind of creamy, but I don't know if I'd get it again.

I was lucky not to find it crowded since it was past lunchtime. Not a big variety of choices but the ones available have nice twists to them. The food is fresh, tasty and the staff is very friendly, speaking english very well. Fyi for tourists, the water is from tap and is free

Amazing little café for vegan breakfast. Big portion for decent price in the heart of Zürich. The staff is super friendly and professional.

Love the food and vegan food options. Highly recommend the cafe. Staff was very kind

Fabulous place for vegetarians both the items are great and a very elevated item to the usual indian food, the items that we had were the dal lentil rice and the penut tikka

My experience at Roots was mixed. I had the Açaí Original Bowl – it was okay, but the açaí mix itself was quite bland. However, the gluten-free quinoa granola was a real highlight – exceptionally good and a creative touch! The peanut crunch was also great, but it didn’t pair well with the pomegranate and banana. I’d recommend adding peanut butter instead. The chai latte with pea milk was absolutely delicious! My non-gluten-free friends loved the wide selection of healthy dishes, so for them, it was a great spot. Unfortunately, the staff wasn’t very knowledgeable about gluten-free options, had to look things up, and service was quite slow. The long wait time might have been due to the large crowd, which suggests this place has a loyal following. Overall: A good place for healthy food, but not ideal if you need a wide range of gluten-free options. For non-gluten-free visitors, though, it’s probably a solid choice!

Atmosphere is nice. The food is overpriced for what it is even for Zurich standards. All the dishes were extremely salty and some fish dishes didn’t seem quite fresh. The beef was too chewy and in general none of the dishes was special. There were a lot of flavors combined but lacking of character. In addition, we got food poisoning right after returning home. For the price point service was also disappointing, the waiters didn’t even refill the waters or the wine. You would search for some time if you needed something. The dish names were just mentioned without really explaining every time the composition of the dish. Would have expected more from this restaurant and concept.

Easily the best meal I had in Zurich! The small plates menu meant that my partner and I were able to try loads of different dishes which we loved. The flavour combinations were amazing and different than what I would usually expect (like truffle with desert). They had a large selection of wines and the staff were able to make recommendations that my partner and I really enjoyed.

I had dinner at Bauernschänke in Zurich last night and it was absolutely lovely. The food was nothing short of amazing – I’ve honestly never experienced such creative and well-balanced flavor combinations before. You can really tell that the chef knows exactly what he’s doing when it comes to flavors! The concept is all about sharing plates – they recommend 4 to 6 dishes for two people from their à la carte menu, but you can also order from their seasonal selection or go for the surprise menu if you’re feeling adventurous. Two absolute highlights for me: the churros with Gruyère cheese, which were unexpectedly addictive, and the dessert – a cookie with truffle – a real flavor explosion! The atmosphere is super cozy and relaxed, and the service was incredibly friendly and fast. All in all, a wonderful dining experience – I can’t wait to go back!

Creative cooking with very original little servings and good choice for for everyone (fish, meat, veg). The waiters were just perfect and the atmosphere very cosy. Prices were descent for Zurich! Little advise, take 3 plates / pers (excluding desert). I took 4 but it was a bit too much!

I had the most incredible dining experience here! The food was sooo good. Every dish was a work of art. The staff attention to details was truly remarkable: we never had an empty glass or a dirty plate on the table. The wine pairing was also really good. The sommelier has a deep understanding of wine pairing, enhancing our dining experience even further. My favourite bite was the venison cheek at the beginning and the kaiseki style pudding. This is more than just a restaurant; it's an experience. If you're looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or simply try new dishes this is the place to be. Thank you all for making our dinner so special!

Amazing place only a few 100 meters from the main tourist pedestrian areas of Zurich. Great outdoor seating on a summer evening. Loved the vegetarian options, but all dishes very great and packed with flavor.

A wonderful surprise. Very modern and simple design. Clean and serene! We shared few plates and we enjoyed a lot. The ravioli are delicious. They have also a vegetarian restaurant very close. Top service. I will definitely go back. Thank you. 🍷 I’m back and is always a great pleasure, the food is fantastic, delicious and taste. The wine list is a surprise, not banal and full of unexpected wines. The service is always nice and professional. It is definitely one of my favourites restaurants. Thank you.

The bakery/ cafe is a throwback to an Era that is gone. I was there yesterday and bought a few pastries for takeout. They were so good that I was back today to try another of their pastries. It was as good!!! Since it was raining, the patio was not open, and the photos show that. FYI, they are open on Sundays, which is great since many of the bakeries are not.

Beautiful place. Very old school bakery, the waitress was super sweet. We had the apple strudel and hot chocolate both were good ! Definitely worth visiting !

You feel the history in the café. Definitely recommend for a drink & cake. Beautifully decorated, the service is very nice. The hot chocolate (CHF 10.50 with whipped cream) is a generous portion, tastes perfect (not too sweet) and warms you up.

We stumbled in here looking for some pastries between meals and it was the best we could’ve hoped for. Everything was delicious, the staff was very friendly, and the inside of the cafe is beautiful.

Based on the reviews, this café was a must-visit, and I was a bit surprised to see a queue on a Sunday like this, but the wait wasn't long. The café is quite spacious with two floors and many tables, all of which were full. It's a typical café - I ordered coffee and hot chocolate to try. It beats the café in Paris that I really liked - it's easy to drink, delicious, and I also tried the cheesecake. I didn't buy any chocolate to take home because I thought it was a little too expensive. If you ask whether I would come again, I would definitely return for the hot chocolate.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Cute place, good food. Services was odd, they had open tables but they had us sit with another party. And when they closed we were pushed out pretty quickly.

Our server Florian was absolutely amazing!! We had just gotten off a 9 hour bus from Austria and he went above and beyond to give us the best service possible. Not only was the food and hot chocolate incredible but he also gave us recommendations on where to visit in Zurich!

Breathtaking view of Zurich! Wonderful hotel: luxurious, yet unpretentious. This hotel has an aristocratic touch, which you can feel from the very first moments. I'd like to highlight the staff separately - they create a real sense of coziness.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Dolder Grand is pure elegance and perfection! ✨ From the moment you arrive, you’re treated to world-class hospitality and breathtaking views of Zurich, the lake, and the Alps. The architecture blends classic charm with modern luxury, making every corner of the hotel feel like a masterpiece. The rooms are spacious, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable—every detail feels thoughtful and refined. The spa is truly next level, one of the best I’ve ever experienced, offering a serene escape that feels both rejuvenating and luxurious. 💆‍♂️💆‍♀️ Dining here is exceptional—Michelin-star cuisine, stunning presentation, and a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. Pair that with outstanding service and you’ll have an unforgettable evening. 🍷 What sets The Dolder Grand apart is how effortlessly it balances luxury with warmth. It’s not just a hotel; it’s an experience you’ll remember long after you leave. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Zurich who wants the absolute best!

Amazing hotel, good service.. internationally high class priced. At least you get what you pay for. Dont come with a cheap car tho. Even tho we had the maestro suite (the most expensive one - since i got dropped off by a local - the concierge and nightshift manager were slightly dismissive.. until ofc we provided proof for booking a 15k suite. Clothes dont talk money. But its a show off place nonetheless. Still amazing building, great service, very nice atmosphere. Just until accepted. Samw goes to thw city of zurich. Nice to look at but the people are kinda questionable

My stay at The Dolder Grand was absolutely exceptional! The hotel perfectly blends historic charm with modern luxury. The service was impeccable, and every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. The staff were warm, professional, and always attentive. The views over Zurich are stunning, and the atmosphere throughout the property is elegant and serene. Truly an unforgettable experience!

My third time in The Dolder. I admit, I was doubting to book the Mandarin O this time, but happy that I went again for The Dolder. There is just no place like this. Stayed three nights, in room 1307, in the Spa Wing Breakfast: great!!! although the small plates with smoked salmon were almost always gone. But the breakfast is great, the Dolder's bircher muesli, is the best! Dinner: had dinner in Salt, same place as breakfast. During dinner: I preferred the 'red area' for the simple reason: during the evening, I did no so much like the lighting in the other part of the restaurant. It was not very 'warm' But I admit I'm obsessed with good lighting. Room: I was in 1307, a bit bigger then standard. I have to say, the rooms don't have the WOW effect anymore, maybe a bit too plain for a 5 star. Probably because the room is very white, and kind of lacks warmth. I admit: I just spend several days in the Chedi Andermatt, so there was a contrast. The wood in the dressing starts to show the wear and tear of daily use. But then again: the balcony ànd the view were amazing! The Spa: very nice to unwind after a day in town. The bar: I love the new design!! I is really a lot better then before! And besides that: I have a weak spot for the very very nice, kind ànd very handsome head bartender. His sparkling eyes and smile and kindness are so nice. Things I love about this place - the shuttle service - the grandeur of the place! - the combination of classic with modern wings, superbe! - the head bartender!

Very poor hotel - DO NOT STAY Service service was terrible, no interaction on bookings and arrangements. Easily the worst hotel experience I have had in the past 10 years. Rooms - Smelt of smoke and did nothing about it - controls and technology including light switches was very aged - booked a lake view room but was very marginal. Do not trust the descriptions. Food - no respect for allergies , multiple failed simple orders where the chef ended up just taking things off the same plate rather than replating. Location - good, Main positives - probably a good hotel for heavy smokers who want beer at breakfast

Disappointing experience at the Dolder Grand – Service Not Up to Standard I stayed at the Dolder Grand last weekend and, despite the beautiful setting and excellent breakfast, my overall experience was unfortunately very disappointing due to the level of service, which fell far below what one would expect from a hotel of this calibre. Right from check-in, several incidents occurred. We were assigned a room and escorted to it by a staff member, only to discover that another guest was still inside. This was extremely embarrassing, especially since the room had been confirmed as ready. We were then asked to wait, and shortly after informed that the room was now prepared for us. However, when we returned, another staff member informed us that the room was actually not ready. The lack of professionalism was striking, and our patience began to wear thin. After several back-and-forths, we were finally given a room. We settled in and headed to the spa to relax after these mishaps. Unfortunately, the surprises continued when we returned from the spa, we found the room completely empty, all of our belongings had been removed without our consent and without any prior notice. This was extremely alarming and unacceptable, and to this day, I have not yet received any explanation as to why our belongings were moved, which I find particularly disrespectful. Throughout the stay, staff entered the room after knocking only once and immediately opening the door. In a hotel of this standard, strict respect for guests’ privacy is expected. In my opinion, knocking at least three times and waiting for a response should be the norm... In summary, stunning architecture and great food, but the service is nowhere near what you’d expect for the price and prestige of the Dolder Grand. Despite the exceptional setting, the experience was deeply disappointing, and I cannot recommend staying there as it is not fairly represent Swiss standards.

I recently visited the Lindt Home of Chocolate and will give it three stars. We arrived in the late afternoon and were surprised by how crowded it was. I understand it is a popular attraction, but I did not expect such a sea of people everywhere. Tickets for the museum were already sold out, which we accepted, and the receptionist advised us to visit the shop instead. However, the shop itself felt extremely overcrowded. The queues were very long, and the atmosphere was quite chaotic. Many visitors were crowding around the chocolate displays, taking a lot of photos and handling products, which made it difficult to move around or shop comfortably. At the large chocolate installation in the entrance area, people kept walking into the space while I was still taking a photo, so even small moments like that felt rushed and stressful. The building is beautiful, and the selection of chocolate is impressive, but the overall experience did not match the calm, slightly “exclusive” atmosphere I imagined. It felt more like a busy tourist attraction than a relaxing chocolate experience. I personally would not go back, but I understand that other people might enjoy the lively energy and do not mind big crowds. If you decide to visit, I would strongly recommend booking tickets in advance and going as early in the day as possible to avoid the worst of the crowds. Go at your own risk if you dislike very busy places.

We visited the Lindt Museum in Zurich over the weekend and absolutely loved it. We managed to get tickets at the last minute; however, I recommend buying them at least a week in advance. The museum is a bit outside the city center; it took only about 15 minutes by Uber to get there. Once inside, there was no waiting line, and if you love chocolate, this place is a must-visit. The unlimited warm chocolate sauce tasting was such a treat. The highlight for us was the personalized chocolate experience; the chefs carefully wrote custom messages on chocolate using white and dark chocolate right in front of us. It was amazing to watch their delicate craftsmanship, and it makes a perfect gift. Finally, do not miss the Lindt shop at the end of the museum; it is filled with hundreds of chocolate varieties. I highly recommend visiting if you are in Zurich!

A true chocolate lover’s paradise — beautifully designed and fun to explore! The museum offers a great glimpse into Lindt’s history and craft, and the giant chocolate fountain alone makes the visit worth it. And of course, the shop has something for every taste. A sweet spot in every sense!

The museum is incredibly beautiful! The main chocolate fountain is truly impressive, and the tour itself is modern, engaging, and very well designed. It walks you through the entire history of chocolate with illustrations, videos, and immersive experiences. The audio guide is available in a wide variety of languages; however, it would be even better if the exhibits were numbered to make it easier to follow along. One of the highlights is definitely the chocolate fountains you can taste, absolutely delicious! Overall, the tour is magnificent and I highly recommend it. Lockers are also provided free of charge, which is very convenient. The only downsides were the restrooms, which were not in great condition and could use more frequent cleaning, and the café. We ordered two hot chocolates, and both were disappointingly watery and lacked the rich chocolate flavor we expected.

Unlimited Chocolate=Lindt chocolate factory 🍫 With the entry fee, you will be exposed to unlimited high quality chocolate, it's hard to control the indulgence. It has the history of how chocolate is produced right from the soil, it's import, processing and finishing. History of chocolate companies in overall world and its distribution is shown with interactive interface. You will get chance to taste right from liquid chocolate to ultimate finishing product with all the intermediary products, that too unlimited. It also has a shop for taking the Sweet tooth for your sweet persons ☺️ Fully Worth it.

Today, I visited the Lindt Home of Chocolate factory, and I’m absolutely thrilled! The museum offers a fascinating journey through the history of chocolate and showcases how Switzerland became a global leader in chocolate manufacturing. It's the first museum I've seen where innovation and product testing are such an integral part of the experience. Truly a delightful and immersive visit!

We planned our visit and booked our tickets three months in advance. The chocolate experience itself is nice, and the building is absolutely stunning. However, the contrast with cocoa-producing countries such as Ghana where much of their chocolate comes from, is striking. During the tour, the images of poverty and lack of technology truly make you wonder whether the Lindt foundation is doing anything meaningful for these communities. None of this is ever mentioned. Please stop romanticizing misery and poverty. Cocoa farmers deserve to be presented as a respected and essential part of the process. I did my own research afterward, since the tour fails to mention that the Lindt Foundation actually runs programs to “support” these communities. I was also quite surprised by the tour guide describing the Spanish invaders as “survivors” when referring to the conquest of the Americas, an event that resulted in the destruction of entire communities and tribes, with estimates ranging from millions to tens of millions of Indigenous people killed. Please be respectful of history. Some visitors do know what really happened. On a positive note, the chocolate is excellent, and the guided tour offers plenty of extra samples

Very nice place, with architectural interest. Plenty of shops for shopping and many options for entertainment.....coffee, drinks, light food, cinema, etc. On cold winter days it is a very good choice to spend a few hours happily!

Really enjoyed Sihlcity; it’s a small-to-medium-sized mall, exactly the kind I prefer over huge and crowded ones. It’s super easy to navigate, modern, and spotless. The Coop supermarket is excellent; spacious, well organized, and full of quality products. There’s a good mix of clothing stores, chocolate and other shops, plus plenty of restaurants and cafés both inside and nearby. It’s also within walking distance from our hotel, which made it extra convenient. A great spot to shop, eat, and relax without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

This is a lively shopping mall packed with seasonal/themed decorations throughout the year. It is well connected to highway, sport fields, and forest. I does a great deal of in- outdoor activities rendering the whole place as an experience. I often come here to disconnect from the daily grind. Most shops(that I visit) am always treated well including my toddlers. On the negative side, the internal lift is always packed and busy, so when you go around with a stroller, keep an open mind. This isn’t a matter of the shopping mall, but more of the users; nothing can be done about. All in all, my second favorite shopping mall. The reason is distance to my place. 5 Stars

I don't like shopping malls but it's a great location (next to my house). Small selection of clothing stores and too many home improvement stores. Partition the Zara into 5 clothing boutiques and you get five stars from me

Sihlcity is a relatively large shopping center offering an impressive variety of options for retail, with a huge Coop supermarket with fresh produce and quality grocery choices; with brand stores for fashion and home goods with a wide selection such as H&M, Zara, and C&A for many styles and budgets; specialty shops for cosmetics and books; for entertainment the modern Arena Cinemas with 4DX and ScreenX; quick meals at McDonald's or Vapiano, Middle Eastern buffets at Yalda and more

Cool small mall that has everything you need. It’s smaller than the usual mall but big in Switzerland. Cool things but expensive. Great place to hang out.

Very nice shopping center. Easy to reach with public transport. Nice to just look around if you are not going for shopping. There are many coffees shop and restaurant as well to spend great time with friends. There is also the Arena cinema right next door.

This is a nice little place to have a good coffee and smalle bite. if you order big meal, will regret as too expensive. we have 2 coffee and 2 breakfast, total $70 CHF, almost $130 CAD, i never have such an expensive breakfast in my life.........be careful when you order ! Food is not Bad ! just $$$

Fantastic selection of chocolate, macrons, and pre-packaged gifts. Best chocolate we have had on our travels so far! Very expensive but worth a try if you are visiting from out of town.

Confiserie Sprüngli is a lovely stop for sweets and warm drinks in Zürich. We tried a few different items, and overall had a really good experience. The Americano was solid and well-balanced, and the hot chocolate espresso was rich and delicious. The chestnut latte definitely had an authentic chestnut flavor, but the texture felt a bit off. It was almost like crushed chestnuts blended into the drink, so it wasn’t our favorite. The pastries, however, were excellent. The caramel baked apple tasted just like a warm apple pie, comforting and full of flavor. The truffle cake slice was also really good — rich, smooth, and not overly sweet. One detail I really appreciated was that the coffees came with a small piece of Sprüngli chocolate, which was a nice touch. Service was very quick and efficient, even with the café being busy. Overall, a great spot for classic Swiss treats, quality pastries, and a cozy break in the city. And a bonus of the chocolate shop right next door to purchase some chocolates!

This is real Swiss chocolate. When you visit this place you see locals having coffee and some treats, or going and buying chocolate for themselves/friends. I think we were the only tourists there for our visit. The staff were fine, but not the best service experience that we have received in Zurich. The selection is amazing. I wish I could have tried everything! Not only is the chocolate delicious, it’s presented in a gorgeous manner.

Confiserie Sprüngli at Paradeplatz is an absolute gem and a must-visit in Zurich. The moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by the warm aroma of fresh pastries, chocolate, and coffee — it instantly lifts your mood. The service is exceptional: friendly, professional, and genuinely proud of what they serve. Their Luxemburgerli are on a completely different level — delicate, airy, and unbelievably fresh. Every pastry and chocolate item looks like a work of art, and tastes even better than it looks. You can really feel the craftsmanship and tradition in every bite. The café upstairs is elegant and relaxing, perfect for breakfast, a coffee break, or a treat after exploring the city. Everything is beautifully presented, and the staff make sure you’re well looked after from start to finish. Sprüngli Paradeplatz is the definition of Swiss excellence. If you want the true Zurich experience, this is the place to go. Highly, highly recommended!

Highly visible corner store on Bahnhofstrasse. Huge selection not only of their famous pralines but also of baked goods, pastries and cakes. Very helpful staff. Go ahead and treat yourself.

It was hard to choose what to buy in this shop. Everything looked so perfect and delicious! We decided on some mini macarons and chocolate covered macarons. We enjoyed the different flavors. My favorite was passionfruit. I wish I had bought some more things here!

The Zurich Opera House is a true gem for arts lovers. From its beautifully restored historic architecture to the top-notch acoustics inside, it offers an unforgettable cultural experience. Whether you catch an opera, ballet, or classical concert, the performances are consistently outstanding. The interior is elegant and richly decorated, creating a luxurious atmosphere that makes attending a show feel really special. The staff are professional and welcoming, helping to make the whole evening smooth and enjoyable. Located right in the heart of Zurich, it’s easy to access and surrounded by great cafes and restaurants—perfect for a full night out. If you appreciate fine arts and beautiful venues, this is a must-visit.

Visited the Zurich Opera House yesterday for the film festival. The architecture is stunning, the acoustics are excellent, and the atmosphere is elegant. Every visit here is truly special and unforgettable!

The Zurich Opera is one of my favorites anywhere. It's a small and charming 19th century theater, with excellent acoustics and sight lines, and some of the best singers and one of the best opera orchestras anywhere. The repertory is diverse, and audiences are respectful and quiet. The location by the lake is spectacular. If you visit Zurich you really should try to catch a performance. Performances tend to sell out, so it's best to book in advance.

We had the absolute pleasure of taking part in a truly special opera tour, lovingly conducted by a kind older lady who has clearly been guiding with heart and soul for many years. Her deep knowledge, warmth, and passion for the Opernhaus made the experience unforgettable. She shared fascinating insights into the history, architecture, and inner workings of the opera house—things we never would have known otherwise. Her storytelling brought everything to life, and we left feeling inspired and so much more connected to the world of opera. This tour was not only informative, but genuinely uplifting. A must-do for anyone visiting the Opernhaus!

The Zurich Opera House is a striking landmark near the lake, blending elegance with cultural prestige. Its grand exterior and lively square make it a great stop for photos and people-watching. Even without going inside, you can feel its artistic charm from the outside.

Visited this place during my layover and as I visited in the early morning the place was not open for visitors. The place is very beautiful and the architecture is magnificent. They have a significant space available in the front for some events and the place itself is worth visiting.

Next to the lake and at the edge of Sechseläutenplatz - the city's largest square - stands the Zurich Opera House. An impressive building considered a masterpiece of neo-Baroque elegance, characterized by its ornate facade. The exterior of the building, with its elaborate carvings, decorative reliefs and imposing entrance, creates a sense of theatrical grandeur.

This was such an awesome meal. Every item was so tastefully made and as a vegetarian, i felt like i was trying new things altogether, with just how some of the dips and breaded items were made. Would love to return. Even my husband who eats meat really enjoyed it

I have never filled my plate as much as I did there. The range of the vegetarian dishes was breathtaking.. Ate as if 'there was no tomorrow'. Great choice of breads, soup and vegetarian dishes ranging from Bangladesh to middle East! Highly recommended, in particular to the vegetarians, vegans!

Tibits Zurich is an absolute delight — a paradise for vegetarian and vegan food lovers! The concept is refreshing and unique: a beautiful self-service buffet offering a vibrant variety of fresh, flavorful, and healthy dishes inspired by cuisines from around the world. Everything we tried was simply delicious — colorful salads, warm curries, pastas, and their desserts were all perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. The ingredients taste incredibly fresh, and you can truly feel the care and creativity behind each dish. The restaurant has a warm, casual-chic atmosphere with lovely interiors and friendly, helpful staff. It’s conveniently located near Zurich’s main areas, making it ideal for lunch, dinner, or even a relaxed coffee break. Tibits stands out for its sustainability, taste, and welcoming vibe — highly recommended for anyone who enjoys wholesome, beautifully made food in the heart of Zurich.

It was a very pleasant surprise to find the exclusive vegetarian restaurants like Tibits in Switzerland where most of the people eat non-veg. We were roaming around Lake Zurich and being vegetarians, we decided to have lunch over here. It was located in a lane just 2 minutes from lake. The buffet spread was very impressive. The variety could easily satisfy appetites of all kinds of people. We filled up our plates and paid by weight which is the custom here. Luckily it was not crowded and we easily got a table inside. The food was absolutely delicious. The decor was classy and ambiance very peaceful. The staff was very efficient and polite. Worth trying !!

Cappuccino was absolutely 5 star! The croissant 🥐 a divine sensorial experience. Nice ambiance.. the waiter’s smile made it even better

I didn’t know it was vegetarian, until I started taking food … I tought I was going to regret it … but… no!! It was AMAZING! Everything was delicious !!! I would return again and again! And the price was fair!

I am not vegetarian and enjoyed this place. The food was diverse and chouce plentiful. It was easy to discover what you wanted easy to pay, great to ensure there is no wasye as you oay for the weight of your food. The decision around your beverage was easy as it was done after you choose your meal so you can easily pair the wine with the meal choice. The staff were great, pleasant, and attentive to the customers. I saw one helping an older couple with their plates from their seats. It was above and beyond and just showed the fabulous service they give. The area was clean the tables basic but there were plenty of seats to choose where to sit. I enjoyed this. The food was great, I didn't really have a full choice for the sweets (desserts) but apart from that I couldn't fault it. It was good.

Love it here. We’ve been a frequent visitor of this place and they never disappoint us. The food is nice and the space is lovely. They always try to accompany any request we had as well.

I had a fantastic dining experience at Zunfthaus zur Waag! The food was exceptional, with their signature Zürcher Geschnetzeltes and butter rösti stealing the show. The wine selection is superb, offering a great mix of local and international options that paired perfectly with the meal. My only suggestion would be to expand the menu with a few more pasta dishes for added variety. Still, an AAA+ experience in a charming, historic setting. Highly recommend! #ZurichDining #ZunfthausZurWaag #zurich

Zunfthaus zur Waag beautifully combines history with fine dining. Located in a historic medieval building, it offers a unique experience in an elegant and timeless atmosphere. The interior is decorated with classic furniture and antique paintings, adding warmth and charm to the setting. The menu features traditional Swiss cuisine prepared with care and high-quality ingredients, enhanced with a modern twist that makes each dish special and flavorful. Service is professional and welcoming, ensuring every visit is memorable. It’s the perfect spot for a special dinner or celebration for those who appreciate authenticity and refined taste.

Nice restaurant with traditional Swiss food. You can rent rooms upstairs for larger groups and events. Nice wine selection.

We dined to celebrate my birthday whilst on holiday in Zurich with friends. The restaurant managed to accommodate us at short notice which we really appreciated. The staff were very attentive & the food was delicious. The restaurant is expensive but the food was of a high quality and the setting is lovy. We dined on the first floor and our table was by the door. We would have preferred to be further in the restaurant space but given our booking was made at short notice this was understandable. For two people we paid £235 which was for 3 courses, 1 bottle of wine and 1 bottle of water. The restaurant also decorated my dessert to recognise my birthday which was a nice touch. I would recommend this restaurant for a special occasion.

An amazing location and building that clearly doesn't match neither with the food nor the service. A pity. They could do much better. Recommended for private events but don't expect over the top quality. Just correct

My friend and I had a great dinner outside, pleasant ambience, very tasty local Swiss dishes and excellent wine list. We appreciated the service of Natale and hope to be back soon :)

I visited this restaurant three times during my stay, both for lunch and dinner and everything I tried was fantastic! - Pumpkin Soup: One of the best I’ve ever had , light, interesting, and full of flavor. - Chicken Schnitzel with Mushroom Sauce: Perfectly thin and crispy on the outside, juicy inside. The sauce was creamy with a hint of lemon, absolutely delicious! - Rösti: Good but a bit dry for my liking. - Macaroni from their vegetarian options: Made with cheese, potatoes, and caramelized onions. light, comforting, and so good! The atmosphere is super charming, full of character and history. If you’re in a small group, you’ll likely share a table with others, which actually makes it more fun! We ended up having great conversations with our table neighbors :) Can’t wait to come back!

Lovely place. Extremely busy. Huge restaurant with a staff of circa 80. The front of house team were brilliant. Definitely worth booking although it was a lucky tourist find. The food was excellent. The service was outstanding. The building was old and had been around since 1450+/- which is impressive. Generous time at the table. Beer 🍻 was great. The 1L glasses are heavy when full 😂.

Interesting place. It’s an old military arsenal which was converted to a restaurant in 1926. Food was slightly above average but the atmosphere kind of felt like a Disney dining hall. Small parties are required to share tables with others. Weiner Schnitzel and Rösti (hash brown)were average. The pumpkin soup special was above average.

Very busy place. If one don’t have a reservation, be expected to be sharing a table. Atmosphere is great, loud and lively. There is a meal for 2, which includes sausage on a sword. Looks amazing but portion looks big :)

So let's start, it's simple food, the delicious food is the food you need, from the meat burger to the vegan burger, from the sausages and ham to the pork shank, we didn't miss a single dish, we skipped dessert because there was no room in our stomachs, and the waiter who was with us was simply lovely, explaining and suggesting what to eat. All in all, simple and very tasty home-cooked food.

Great fun, good food, wonderful experience - a must visit when in Zurich, alhough I wish we have the chance to come here for more than just one time 🤓 so many dishes to try! We had their veal in white wine sauce with rosti as the side, and fried crumbed-chicken fillet with fries. Polished it off between the three of us. Tiramisu was a great finish - unbelievably good (even comparable to those we had in Rome, but don’t tell them 🤓), whipped cream was so fresh, biscotti so yummy.

Located in the heart of old-town Zurich, Zeughauskeller is one of the city’s most iconic and historic restaurants originally built in 1487 as an armory and later transformed into a dining hall. The atmosphere immediately immerses you in Swiss history, from the grand wooden interiors to the vibrant crowd that fills the hall. It’s not just a restaurant; it’s an experience that connects you to centuries of tradition. I visited during my Zurich trip and couldn’t pass up the chance to dine here. The place was very crowded, yet the staff handled everything flawlessly fast, friendly, and attentive. Service easily deserves five stars. Despite the hustle and bustle, everything ran like clockwork, and the servers were genuinely welcoming. For the meal, I tried the venison dish served with spaetzle, red cabbage, and a rich sauce. It was hearty and beautifully plated a true comfort dish. While the food was good, it leaned more toward traditional German-style cuisine, so I wasn’t completely blown away by the flavors. Still, it’s a solid representation of Swiss-German culinary heritage and worth experiencing once. The ambiance and decor are what make this place shine it’s cozy, rustic, and full of charm. Between the warm lighting, the clinking of glasses, and the historic setting, you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Overall, Zeughauskeller gets a strong 4 stars from me five stars for service and atmosphere, and three for the food. A must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a traditional Swiss dining experience in a truly historic venue.

I stayed here for just one night. The hostel itself is huge with plenty of space to sit and relax. Check-in was smooth, and they even have a screen where you can buy tickets for major attractions. I was able to book the Lindt Chocolate Factory tour easily for the next day, which was great since it was sold out. The rooms are a decent size, though there’s no air conditioning, so it did get a bit warm. Beds were okay, but you have to make your own bed with the linen provided. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Overall, it has everything you'd expect from a good hostel, and the staff were friendly. However, I wouldn’t recommend this place for solo travellers. It felt really empty while I was there,I didn’t see anyone else on my floor for about three hours, and even downstairs it felt kind of isolated. It’s also a bit far from the city center, and coming back at night felt a little scary. Even during the day, the surroundings were pretty quiet. If you’re traveling in a group, it’s a solid choice. But if you’re alone, I’d probably look for something more social and central.

I stayed for 2 days. It was not the best hostel I have been but it was good overall. Toilets and rooms were clean, staff was helpful, no complaints at all. The common areas are very large, easy to find a seat and relax. The neighborhood was clean, cozy and calm. The public transport is a little more than 5 min away from the hostel. The biggest negative for me is the room size. I had hard time to open my luggage. . Also, not all the guests seemed trustworthy and safe.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hostel, and I was thoroughly impressed. The facilities were exceptionally clean, quiet, and well-organized. The complimentary breakfast, served from 6:00 AM to 9:30 AM, was a great perk included in the booking. Additionally, lunch and dinner options were available for a reasonable 25 CHF. What truly sets this hostel apart, however, is the staff. They were highly professional, helpful, and polite throughout my stay. The reception team especially Jennifer apart from her beauty , was particularly impressive, providing excellent service and ensuring a smooth experience. The laundry facilities were also well-maintained, clean, and convenient, with a reasonable price of 7 CHF that included washing detergent. The washrooms were spacious and clean, adding to the overall comfort of my stay. Given the exceptional service, amenities, and overall experience, I am more than happy to award this hostel 5 stars. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay.

I’m speaking from a personal experience. The staff were kind and helpful in general, but I had a serious issue during my stay. There was a situation with a dangerous guest, and instead of removing him from the hostel after all of the staff admitted that the person is crazy, they just moved me to another room. I feel they don’t know how to deal with this kind of situations to the point it didn’t made me feel safe. Safety should be a top priority, and I hope the hostel improves in this hostel.

The staff went above and beyond to make sure I settled in despite my jet lag. The hostel itself is well managed, clean, modern, and accessible. Pretty good location near a bunch of hiking trails, grocery stores, and public transportation options to get to other parts of the city. Wifi is great, too. Pretty good place to co-work if I wanted to. Would stay here again

Nice and warm environment. A lively place in a calm neighborhood. I would like to thank Chenoa for her help and professionalism. Her smile and her personality are a piece of sunshine and warmth in this cold weather. It meant a lot to me

Hostel is very good for the price in Zurich, common area is very chill and cool. But there is a strange thing breakfast was included but towels were not. We paid 3 chf to rent a towel.

Amazing hilltop view of the city. There's a couple of ramps up and a set of stairs. There's a giant chessboard and a play park as well as your view of Zurich. Definitely worth a visit.

Located in the heart of Zurich’s Altstadt, this hilltop park is one of the city’s oldest historic sites. In Roman times, it was the location of a fortified castrum. Today, it offers a quiet green space with benches and chessboards, and a panoramic view over the Limmat River. From here, you can clearly see the opposite bank of the old town, including the towers of the Grossmünster.

Nice little place slightly raised above the Old Town. Trees for shade and quite a few benches to site on. Nice and quiet despite lots of groups of tourists coming and going. A good view of Zurich Old Town from a modest height, but not spectacular.

Zurich is a city that blends history, nature, and modernity harmoniously. The Old Town is full of charm, with cobblestone streets, medieval buildings, and courtyards. A walk along the lake is especially relaxing, with stunning views. During daytime, the place can get quite crowded with tourists, so I recommend taking an early morning walk along the river. There are also many cafes, restaurants, and stores alongside the river - so a half-day visit to the old town is recommended.

Pretty much a viewpoint in zurich. But nothing much here. Climbing steps expected here, not recommended woth luggages or eldery. But its a good viewpoint to see zurich

Excellent view of the city! You could easily spend hours just admiring the breathtaking panorama of Zurich. Although it’s a popular spot with many tourists, there are still plenty of benches and peaceful corners where you can sit and enjoy the scenery without feeling crowded. A must-visit for anyone coming to Zurich!

Lindenhof is a beautiful hilltop spot to take in gorgeous views of Zurich. I only had one day to visit, and it was raining. No problem. There were lots of people up there. The rain didn't matter one bit. You don't need a ticket. It's another free, gorgeous place in Zurich.

Beautiful restaurant. Delicious buffet of vegetable-focused dishes (inspired by several ethicities) that you pay for by weight. Such a nice variety and so good.

Being vegetarian we had to try this place in Zurich. Oldest Vegeterian restaurant in the world and what unique is serving dishes from different cusines across the world! The people were friendly and very accommodating! Definitely recommend this place if you are in Zurich!

Iconic vegetarian restaurant in the city. Splitted between a buffet self-service on the first floor and and normal restaurant on the second floor. Very large choices, from simple salads 🥗 to various grains. Plenty of fruits on offer. Alcohol and other beverages complete the offer. Service is welcoming and friendly.

One of the best restaurants in Zurich. You can choose between buffet or à la carte. The food is incredibly delicious, and they have a lot of homemade drinks to choose from. The staff is very friendly. I recommend it to everyone !

Pretty good food, interesting pallet. I had the burger and it was really good, the rösti is okay (a bit plain in my opinion) but otherwise really healthy and filling. The tofu salad was super good, quite basic too but the crispy tofu was made quite nicely. Service was good, ambiance was also quite nice (we sat outside in the garden). I definitely wouldn’t say it’s the first vegetarian restaurant in the world and I thought it was also interesting that the menu was primarily Asian dishes.

Chat Gpt recommended me this place and I’m really happy I went. I tried buffet : first main course and then also decided to have a dessert (I got a mix of the mousses 😂) and a coffee. Desserts were just great, light and tasty It’s a great historical place that keeps up with quality. Will go again next time in Zurich

We had a very lovely dinner with the veggie Cordon Bleu and the Steak with fries. Especially the truffle fries were very delicious. The inner yard is also a lovely place to dine while not having too much traffic noise. Service was friendly and quick. Only the family with the kids next to us was really disturbing because the kids were really badly behaved - but this is obviously not the fault of the restaurant. Thus still 5*.

High-end department store in Zurich and arguably the cosmopolitan city's closest counterpart to Harrods in London & KaDeWe in Berlin! If you're up for an all-in-one luxury shopping spree experience around the Bahnhofstrasse, look no further than here!

The best department store in Zurich! All the luxurious brands combined in the same place. And the best of all, they have the most beautiful season bags on Christmas! Every year is a different style of a shopping bag.

One star only because of rude curly haired Rituals‘ saleswoman who just now yelled at us even before we asked to change the Advent calendar. We bought it last week on 25th November in a rush and didn’t noticed it is very dented. For what she said it is only a packing box that will be thrown away, and wasn’t interested that the calendar itself is also damaged. She said they all are so, pointing at same calendars that aren’t all damaged. And that we also made it wet (thanks weather), although wet is only packing box that should be thrown away. Not the best way of working with clients. We are upset that we can’t give it today at the right time. Upd: on the second time seller changed the calendar after we wiped it in the toilet, pointed her at the good ones they still had and said we know it’s possible to change because I worked in sales. And even gave paper to cover.

Excellent place to visit if you like wine and cheese. Downstairs is an amazing few shops with a wide selection of local treats. I was very impressed with the cheese wheels, wine sellers and the French desserts on show

Super fancy wearhouse in the heart of Zurich. It has a lot of well known along special brands, a huge cosmetic/ parfum department. A luxury grocery department with specialities from all over the world. You can also stop there for a coffee or quick bite. The atmosphere screams luxurious from every corner, so you might want to have the full "Zurich big city lifestyle " adventure, but it's worth a visit. I particularly enjoyed the food department, cause I can find there rarities which are hard to get somewhere else

The Grossmünster is an iconic symbol of Zurich, instantly recognizable by its twin towers. It's not just an architectural marvel but also the cradle of the Swiss-German Reformation led by Huldrych Zwingli in the 16th century, which adds profound historical significance. While the interior is notably simple and austere, reflecting Protestant values, it features stunning stained-glass windows by Augusto Giacometti that bathe the nave in a beautiful, colorful light. The bronze doors depicting biblical and historical stories are also remarkable. However, the absolute highlight for most visitors is the climb to the viewing platform in one of the towers. After ascending 187 narrow spiral steps, you are rewarded with the best panoramic view in Zurich. You can see the Limmat River, the picturesque Old Town, Fraumünster Church, and on a clear day, the distant Alps. The climb is challenging but absolutely worth the effort. Verdict: A must-visit for history enthusiasts and anyone seeking an unparalleled perspective of the city. The view from the top alone justifies the visit.

Lovely lovely church in the heart of Zürich. If you have a Zürich pass you can visit this place for free. The painted glasses adorn the places so wonderfully. It’s a serene place to sit and ease out. My top recommendations for this place is the staircase to the top, the view from the top is just breathtaking, and it is not that long of a climb. I would definitely visit this place again and take the climb in a different season just to get another breathtaking view !

Iconic church that rides up over the city, a landmark that can be viewed from multiple vantage points. The church is free to visit, but to climb the steps to the top you need a ticket. If you have the Zurich card you can also climb the steps for free.

⭐ 4/5 – Iconic Church in Zurich ⛪️ 🏛️ Visit Details Nice church to visit in Zurich! The ground floor is free, and you’ll need to pay CHF 5 to go up to the top — worth it if you’d like to explore further. 🪟 Interior & Atmosphere The stained glass windows are stunning, and the building’s structure is beautiful. The view outside from the ground floor is also lovely and peaceful. It can get a little noisy since many tourists visit during the day. ✨ Overall A must-visit landmark for its architecture, history, and charm — best enjoyed during non-peak hours for a calmer experience.

The tower is a waste! 5f tonwalk to the top to be held back by doors... you cant walk around outdide at all and i wish i knew this first... ruined what would be a beautiful view... this 1 star is for the tower not the church...We arrived at 10am climb wasnt until 1pm. I do not recommend the climb or spending the money... see images.

The iconic twin tower 15th century cathedral turned museum. It was so beautiful, entry ticket 5 CFH

Grossmünster is a symbol of Zürich and a must-visit for its twin towers and historical significance in the Swiss Reformation. The interior is simple but powerful, and if you climb the tower, you’re rewarded with one of the best panoramic views of the city. A place where history, faith, and architecture meet.

A nice cathederal that is worth a pop-in if you are nearby. It has beautiful stained glass windows and is peaceful. There is a crypt area that displays artifacts. You require a ticket to enter. It was cheap to purchase. You get an audio guide or a leaflet that comes in a variety of languages. Children and students fetch free entry. There was a small gift shop which sold some nice bits. All areas are wheelchair accessible apart from the crypt and choir area. There is a disability toilet near the main entrance. There is a hearing loop system, and guide dogs are welcome. It is free to enter for services. You are asked to refrain from taking photographs during service.

Definitely best to check the opening times before your visit, we turned up before midday and it was closed. Admittedly for a good reason as someone was getting married there. We went for a coffee and came back once open. The church is visible from multiple parts of the city. When we went in we were able to use our Zurich card to get in for free. A beautiful church, you are provided a map upon entry and can take a tour including the crypt.

The Fraumünster is a former abbey church founded in the 9th century by Louis the German for his daughter Hildegard as a convent for aristocratic women. The abbey held great influence during the Middle Ages—its abbess had the right to appoint the mayor of Zürich until the 14th century. Architecturally, it combines Romanesque and Gothic elements, with a slender blue-green spire that dominates the city skyline. The stained-glass windows by Augusto Giacometti (1945) and Marc Chagall (1970) depict biblical scenes in vivid color.

The Fraumünster has a more slender, graceful presence compared to the sheer bulk of the Grossmünster across the river. While its elegant spire is a key part of the city skyline, the real treasure of the Fraumünster isn't visible from the outside. Its main claim to fame is the stunning set of five stained-glass windows created by Marc Chagall in his 80s, plus another by Augusto Giacometti. Knowing that, you look at the church's stone exterior in a new light. It becomes a beautiful, historic vessel for a breathtaking collection of modern art. The building itself feels quieter and more reserved than its neighbors. It doesn't have the largest clock or imposing twin towers; its identity is more subtle and is found within its walls. The atmosphere around it in the Münsterhof square feels fittingly a bit more subdued and gallery-like. It’s a place that makes you curious about what’s inside, inviting you to step in and see the vibrant colors that are hidden from the sunlit plaza. It’s a great reminder that sometimes the most impressive feature of a place is one you can't see from the street.

Fraumünster Church – A Serene Riverside Gem with Stunning Chagall Windows Fraumünster Church is a peaceful and spiritually uplifting destination nestled in the heart of Zurich, just a stone’s throw from the river. This historic church, with its elegant Gothic architecture and tranquil surroundings, offers the perfect setting for a half-day outing filled with quiet reflection and cultural appreciation. What truly sets Fraumünster apart are the breathtaking stained glass windows designed by the legendary artist Marc Chagall. These vibrant, ethereal fensters bathe the interior in a kaleidoscope of colors and narrate biblical stories with poetic brilliance. Each window is a masterpiece, blending art and spirituality in a way that leaves a lasting impression. Located near the banks of the Limmat River, the church is easily accessible and surrounded by picturesque streets and quaint cafés, making it a wonderful stop for those exploring Zurich’s old town. Whether you are drawn by faith, art, or simply the need for a serene escape, Fraumünster Church is a must-visit.

Beautiful architecture. Parish won't let me in for a prayer. Don't know why, just said that it's not opened to the public.

One of the oldest churches in Zurich, with interesting history. Excellent stained glass windows by Shagal. Wery good audiogide. Definitely worth visiting.

It’s such a huge stadium. I went there for a concert. It was very well organized. There were enough clean toilets but you had to walk towards them only on specific locations. They added mobile toilets just in case. The food isn’t what I would like to eat. Basically I decided to have a meal before the whole event and I think I made a good decision. There is a place for u to hold your valuable objects or even big bags as they are not allowed inside. But it’s behind the stadium. For us, getting there was quite easy with the special tram. But, to go back to the station; it was a huge mess and sometimes it’s better if u start a bit earlier, otherwise you’ll be in the traffic. The view is amazing on the chairs.

Nice stadium. You can walk around the back of the seats for a perfect view of the pitch. For football strongly recommend you buy seats as far back as possible as there is a running track. Behind goal, while with fans not a good view

I had an absolutely amazing time on the Imagine Dragons concert. Even though there were around 50k people, I felt safe and not claustrophobic at all. The orga was super well done the service people were nice, helpful and kind.

Went to see Imagine Dragons here and it was absolutely awesome! The sound quality was great, the atmosphere felt surprisingly cozy for a stadium, and everything was well organized. I’ll definitely come back for more concerts in the future!

Much better experience when your teams wins 4-0 rather than losing 2-1. Stadium is lovely and open, with a decent size concourse running around. Running track is a little annoying but still feels intimate. Found the view from row 15 quite good, slightly better than row 8. Good amount of food stands and toilets. Not a good place for the Dutch.

We arrived at the stadium for an Ed Sheeran concert. The parking was well coordinated. Getting in and out of the stadium took minutes with 50 thousand spectators. Next to the stadium there are street vendors, a hamburger and sausage shop, you definitely won't stay hungry. Everything was simple, easy and fast.

Small and cosy, but for football its horrible to sit on the short side. Since the stadium is a mix of fotball and track and field. But easy to get out and in. No parking available during EM2025. Toilets are good. Straßenbahn directly outside the stadium.

The place is lovely, and the staff were very nice. But I didn’t really like the food. The Pad Thai had too much fish sauce. There are more delicious and cheaper Thai restaurants in Zurich 😕

RACIST PLACE if you are single south asian looking to enjoy dinner. I walked in asking for a table but the manager (European) looked at me and said only seating at bar which is an extremely tiny uncomfortable spot tight for even 2 people right by the entrance and facing very busy counter loading dirty dishes. I saw plenty of tables open so when I asked if I could be given a table, he said every table is reserved and would not accommodate. So I ended up reluctantly taking the bar seat. But soon after a couple walked in without reservation and he politely gave them a table. Then another large group of 5 walked in without reservation and he joined two tables and seated them. Then four more couples walked in without reservation and he seated them all at open tables. I know they didn’t have reservations because for those with reservations, he would ask their name then go behind counter to strike off their name in the register. For the ones without reservations, he would look around and point them to a table asking them if that’s ok then escorting them. Food was good (not great), staff very unfriendly and pushy, and manager racist. Please don’t go to this place that singles out people to be treated badly. Staff didn’t look happy either.

There we were, hungry as ever, 2 minutes away from Ban Song Thai. It was a spontaneous decision. As you step into the restaurant, you’re greeted with a big smile and a lovely atmosphere. The service is impressive and the food is drool-worthy! We always try the coconut soup if it’s in the menu, it was, so we ordered it. Yum! Everyone we tried was delicious. 5 Stars

We reserved a table and had to wait to be seated. Then it took 15mins for someone to take our order and another hour for the food to arrive. The food was tasty and moderately priced. It was incredibly loud in the restaurant, which over all made it a mediocre experience.

The online reservation system appears to be unreliable, as neither a confirmation nor a possible cancellation was received. The guest service was disappointing and discourteous, despite our frequent visits in the past. The waiter’s conduct was unprofessional and lacking in understanding, which made us feel unwelcome. This occurred following a reservation that had been cancelled by the restaurant, along with a waiting time of 25 minutes. The food was excellent, as always. Unfortunately, the overall atmosphere was quite unpleasant.

Amazing find!! We were so pleased to stumble upon this place by accident. It was full house but they found us a table. Food was authentic, service was very attentive and quick. Dessert was lovely. Well done to the owners!

Excellent meal - some of the tastiest Thai food I’ve had outside Thailand and - particularly by Zürich standards - at a very reasonable price. The service was really excellent and super friendly. For sure we’ll be back.

Loved the cozy and stylish atmosphere. We were lucky to get a table without a reservation. The food was absolutely delicious. The staff were polite and attentive, making the experience even better. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for great food and a welcoming vibe!

Meat was excellent but I would say the cuisine is good but not exceptional (reason why I put 4). The waiters were doing a great job. Restaurant looks nice too. I really recommend it.

Overall great experience. I learned about August through the Michelin guide and wanted to try it myself. Overall the service was excellent. I had the salad, rosti with the mushroom and beef stew which is Swiss classic. I loved the Swiss wine (forgot the name). Special mention about the bread which was delicious! I finished my meal with an espresso and the dessert Mille feuille. The vibe was also great- watching the chefs cook and everyone enjoy their meal. I would return!

Everything is perfect and the service personnel are all very nice. The restaurant-made mustard is amazing and matches all dishes. Cream spinach is fresh and not greasy at all. This is the most memorable restaurant for Switzerland food in Zurich.

Turned dinner into a wine and food tasting experience! Rychard, our server, was superb in making recommendations and providing excellent service. Started with a mixed salad and a glass of German Riesling, then a veal and pork sausage with Swiss Merlot, and Zurcher Gesschnetzeltes and a side of roesti with a Swiss Pinot Noir! Ended with mocha and stracciatella gelato! The place has a really friendly, intimate vibe, and we had an amazing overall experience. So glad we picked this restaurant for our only night in Zurich!

An eclectic restaurant situated in the old town, serving meats raised on the farm with a depth of flavour. The assorted sausages are amazing especially when enjoyed with the sweet mustard. Try the rosti, it is delicious. Reserve a table as it gets busy.

An excellent restaurant where 80% of produce is procured from its own farm. Never tasted butter so creamy. Generous serves, excellent quality & presenting food,attentive waiters. Not that expensive for Zurich.Highly recommended

Outdoor seating with iconic views, memorable food and outstanding service this was the best dining experience I had in my 14 day European vacation. I highly recommend you dine here. ♿️ accessible.

This is a very special restaurant ❤️ we celebrated my mother's 70th birthday here tonight. The food was amazing and the service couldn't have been better! Alex did a great job suggesting dishes we wouldn't have chosen ourselves. The UNSER ZÜRIGSCHNÄTZLETS was perfection 👌 They also brought out a birthday surprise for her that made her day! I highly recommend for any day but especially for a special occasion!! You won't be disappointed!

Wow, what a treat I gave myself when I decided to sit at the table of this restaurant. Exquisite typical food prepared with quality ingredients. Friendly and smiling stuff that made my experience even better. Towards the end of my meal a couple came and asked the waitress whether they could order a drink only. I thought about going to their table to tell them that, by not ordering food, they had no idea what they were missing. Highly recommended!

Food was delicious! And the atmosphere is really nice too--the upstairs restaurant looks like the inside of a beer barrel.

Top-notch experience. The food is mouthwatering, the place is cozy and authentic and the service is extraordinary. The waitress was on top of her game, she paid attention to the smallest details, chapeau bas. Highly recommended.

Loved this place. We both had veal and they were delicious. Prepared differently but very flavorful. The service was fantastic. Great staff who were friendly and made excellent suggestions. I highly recommend this place if you’re in Zurich.

Excellent location. Super friendly service. Like the chop. Ice creams not the best. Small wine list with some OK wines but naughty pricing. Love the dining room over 700 years old. No frills OK dining with friendly attentive service. Please improve your ice cream making skills. Add a little vegtable glycerine to the sorbet this helps and a pinch of salt both reduce crystalisation and enhance the flavor (the salt).

Busy but the line is just enough for you to get acquainted with the store.The customer service could have been better. We ordered a few cubes and they turned out to be great.

Cannot recommend this place. Whether you are looking for some great chocolates as gifts or for yourself, it’s such a cute little store. They also do takeaway hot chocolate that I swear it’s the richest and most creamy hot chocolate ever.

Max Chocolatier in Zurich is one of my favorite stops. The staff is always super friendly, and the chocolate is amazing. Their chocolate affogato ice cream is perfect on hot summer days, and their rich hot chocolate is my go-to in winter. Always a delicious experience!

I travelled from Sydney Australia and was delighted to find this wonderful delight of divine chocolate in Zurich. Eva made my selection easy. She was one with the store. I can’t wait to give my wife and daughter max’s chocolates. Not for my son, however. He will devour them too quickly. 😊

Max Chocolatier is one of the most beautiful chocolate shops in Zurich. The elegant interior design creates a warm and luxurious atmosphere, while the aroma of freshly made chocolate fills the air. Every piece is crafted with great care from high-quality natural ingredients, delivering a rich and unforgettable taste. The staff are extremely friendly, taking the time to explain each chocolate variety with a smile, adding a personal touch to the experience. This is the perfect place for true chocolate lovers who value quality and creativity, and you’ll find yourself wanting to return again and again to try new and unique flavors.

This was such a pleasant stop on our way to dinner. The employee we worked with gave us a recommendation for the family member we were shopping for, and he gave us samples of a couple different types of chocolate. He was friendly and conversational. The interior of the store is nicely decorated as well.

Wonderful satellite store from the Lucerne chocolatiers, staff was super helpful with the seasonal chocolates and they are very conscious of all of their ingredients including no palm oil. Great place to take home some hand made chocolates from Switzerland that aren’t the main brands easily found globally.
