Bahnhofstrasse has everything your heart desires: fashion, art and Zurich specialties attract locals and guests alike.

The world-famous shopping mile was created after the construction of Zurich’s main train station. Located on the site of the city’s fortification moat 150 years ago, it now connects Lake Zurich with the main train station over a 1.4-kilometer stretch. It features numerous boutiques, department stores, and watch shops, as well as Paradeplatz—the center of Swiss banking.
