Nice Area

Aug 2022

This is a very nice area in central Zurich. The views of the beautiful Limmat river make it very worthwhile.

Best walk in Zurich

Mar 2022

Walking the Limmatquai which runs along both sides of the Limmat river through central Zurich is the best walk you can have here.
The river divides the city in two, with several bridges connecting both sides of the old town. All major sights are along Limmatquai, and best Zurich photos you'll get from here.

Picturesque street along the river Limmat. Here is the municipality, and there is a good view of the other bank of the river

Beautiful Walk

Oct 2019

Our hotel was on this road, just opposite the river that takes you all the way down to the lake - it's a reasonably long walk, but a beautiful one. Lots of shops, cafes and bars to stop at too.

Picturesque walk along the river Limmat

Dec 2019

Walking along the Limmat river through Zurich, from Hauptbahnhof to Lake Zurich, and come back through Bahnhofstrasse gives a great overview of this compact and romantic old town. Lovely stroll, detouring into the old city and back and forth across the many bridges.

This promenade takes you along the Limmat and old town - with many shops (a bit more edgy than most of those on Bahnhofstrasse), churches, restaurants, cafes and the lovely Rathaus.

Nice riverside

Nov 2019

Probably my judgment is influenced by the nice weather I enjoyed, while I was expecting a freezing time in Zurich. Anyhow, strolling around it, was a good experience, with plenty to see.

Lovely stroll

Nov 2019 • Couples

Whenever we to Zurich we enjoy walking along the limmatquai, the street running next to the river which separates the city in two.
There are several souvenir shops, cafes and small businesses on this street, and also some other worthy attractions.
As you will see, still nowadays businesses live and thrive in the proximity of a river.

Unique Street

Aug 2019 • Family

Limmatquai is an interesting street in Zurich that runs around the length of the Limmat River. One finds several churches, quaint shops and restaurants along this street. One can explore this street by walking or alternatively by taking a tram that runs on it.
