Lindenhof Hill is a peaceful public park and historic square in the heart of Zurich’s Old Town. It offers an elevated vantage point with some of the best views of the city, the Limmat River, and Lake Zurich. The site dates back to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. It later became a Roman fort, followed by a royal residence in the fifth and sixth centuries and again in the ninth century. A second-century Roman tombstone and remnants of two-meter-wide walls reflect Zürich's Roman and early days. Surrounded by lime trees and narrow streets, Lindenhof Square provides a peaceful spot to relax, play games or chess, and enjoy crossbow shooting or taking photos. Tourists, travelers, and locals walk from nearby hotels and accommodations via tram to visit this charming hilltop park. Highlights include the Hedwig Fountain, a tribute to the women who defended the castle during a siege. Lindenhof is a great spot to spend a free afternoon in Switzerland’s cultural center.

It was a good experience to understand how to chocolate is made. Fun for children with interactive display, chocolate tasting and distribute chocolates. Surprising the chocolates selling in Lindt shop is more than double the cost selling in Hong Kong...

if you are doing back and forth from zurich to Zermatt then it’s worth it. We went from zurich to interlaken to Zermatt to lucerne to zurich in 6 days trip. Did 3 boat rides in interlaken and lucerne and Mount rigi and it was worth it

Received pass confirmation almost immediately, then you can use the pass info to book attractions at half fare, eg Harder Kulm, Jungfraujoch tickets. Cheaper than purchase direct
