Shopping on the Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich

Running from Zurich’s main train station (Hauptbahnhof) right down to the lake, the Bahnhofstrasse is arguably the best place to shop anywhere in Switzerland. To be fair, much of central Zurich is a consumer’s paradise, but the Bahnhofstrasse is the beating heart of it all.

Department stores, luxury boutiques and jewelry stores abound, as well as other interesting sites such as a statue honoring Alfred Escher (the financial strategist who helped Zurich into the modern age in the mid-19th century), the Fraumunster (one of the most beautiful churches in the city), and the Museum of Constructivist Art (Haus Konstruktiv).
