One of the most beautiful views of the city of Zurich. Of course, a visit to the cozy restaurant is worthwhile. From the observation tower you have a fantastic view of the Alps and the Black Forest.

At 859 meters, the Burghorn is the highest point on the Lägerngrat. From here, you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views: to the south over the Limmat Valley to the Alps 🏔️, and to the north into the Surb Valley and the Aargau Jura 🌳 – a perfect place for a break with a view!

Zurich Main Station – Transportation Hub and Historic Monument Zurich Main Station is not only the largest but also one of the oldest train stations in Switzerland. With almost 3,000 arrivals and departures per day, it is also considered one of the busiest train stations in the world. Domestic and long-distance trains from neighboring France, Austria, Italy, and Germany characterize the terminus of Switzerland's very first railway line, the "Spanish Bun Railway." It is located directly adjacent to the Swiss National Museum on the edge of the old town. The Sihl River flows beneath its tracks and platforms, and its confluence with the Limmat River is also nearby. Zurich Main Station was originally built as a terminus station. However, there are now underground through-tracks for the S-Bahn (suburban railway). Another underground section for regular train traffic is under construction and is scheduled for completion in 2014. The building, designed by architect Jakob Friedrich Wanner, opened in 1871, replacing the old structure by Gustav Albert Wegmann from 1847. The monumental main entrance, designed as a triumphal arch, led into a magnificent interior with numerous courtyards and arcades, waiting rooms, and restaurants.

Zurich Main Station Zurich Main Station (abbreviated Zurich HB, also known as Zurich Main Station, until 1893 Zurich Station) in Zurich is the largest railway station in Switzerland. It is a major railway hub for trains from Switzerland and abroad. With an average of 461,000 passengers on weekdays (as of 2019) and around 3,000 train journeys per day, it is the busiest station on the Swiss Federal Railways network and also one of the busiest railway stations in Europe. The main station is located north of the old town. It has a total of 26 tracks for passenger traffic in four sections. The above-ground terminus station primarily serves long-distance trains. The underground stations Museumstrasse on the north side and Löwenstrasse on the south side are designed as through stations. The former serves exclusively Zurich S-Bahn trains, while the latter also serves long-distance trains. In addition, the terminus of the Sihltal-Zürich-Uetliberg Railway (SZU) is located beneath the adjacent station square to the south. The station sections are connected by the underground shopping arcade Shopville. To the west of the main station, the tracks extend for approximately four kilometers to Altstetten station. The main station was opened in 1847 as the terminus of Switzerland's first railway line, from Zurich to Baden, and is thus one of the oldest railway stations in the country. The station hall, designed by Jakob Friedrich Wanner in the Neo-Renaissance style and completed in 1871, replaced the original buildings. This hall no longer serves its original purpose, as rail traffic was moved to the adjacent train shed in 1930. The above-ground sections of the main station are listed as cultural assets of national importance and are protected as historical monuments. The underground station Museumstrasse opened in 1989. The S-Bahn service and the SZU station followed a year later. Finally, in 2014, the Löwenstrasse underground station was added.

Zurich main station is the largest train station in Switzerland. It is an important railway junction for trains from home and abroad. You have to be careful if you want to take the Sihltal or Uetliberg Bahn. You have to go underground to do this.
