Zabri JohariFebruary 28, 2015The one thing I admire is how easy it is to travel in Zurich and the Zurich Card is the best way to explore the Canton of Zurich...

Lisa StarbucksDecember 17, 2016Spot clean and bright station with great shops. The layout can get confusing but you have good direction signs. Trains will leave and come on time! 🙌🏼Upvoted 2 weeks ago- Nearly half a million travellers here daily! Plenty of shops to kill time if u miss the train. Check out underground for a fresh breeze in summer of a few degrees warmer in freezing winter! Züri yeah!Upvoted 1 week ago
The shops here are open on Sundays and carry almost anything you could need. Groceries, electronics, food, etc.
The station was originally constructed as the terminus of the Spanisch Brötli Bahn, the first railway built completely within Switzerland.
Fantastic station. Very good connections and easy to navigate. It also has some great shops and cafes.
The underground shopping center, ShopVille, is really big and shops are open every day of the week. Shops include: Spruengli, Migros, Reformhaus Egli...Upvoted Nov 15, 2024
- Fantastic organized. Shopping 365 days a year. Start your trip to all fantastic sight seeings in Switzerland. Biggest event hall in Europe,. Good coffee shops.
- Jack SmithMay 16, 2022Quieter, cleaner & more modern toilets, at the back of the station, along the Sihlquai underpass, by elevators to plat. 32/34. No overhead sign-posting along the underpass, look out for WC at entranceUpvoted 3 weeks ago
This station and Swiss trains and buses in general set the world standard for punctuality. Reliable, clean, safe and an incredible network.
Amit GaharwarApril 5, 2015Regular connections to Basel and other Swiss cities. Regular connections also to Austria, Italy and France. Free SBB wi-fi. Lower level has a mall with various shops.- Werner FilhoNovember 15, 2014Fantastic "old" building, with the fantastic modern swiss train system. Move your head up and take a look at Nina, and if you have some free time walk in Banhoffstrasse.
The Zurich train station turns into a huge beer hall during Oktoberfest. It's less touristy than Munich with all the same beer, food, music and fun.
Swiss:-) Well organized. You can buy good coffee at several places as you wait. Many platforms so start walking in due time. The trains are very clean but maybe a little bit old. Trains on time:-)
Must visit in Zurich! Don't miss the famous SBB clock for which Apple lost a copyright dispute (which resulted in the change of the iPhone clock app)!
The best train station ever. Always something going on there. If not, just take a train to explore the world! ;)
it's a magical place when all the trains are following the exact schedule!
Kelley L.October 26, 2019Main train station in Zurich. Staff here are super helpful, and the trains and station are clean.
Nice Train Museum at Bahnhof Zürich, on every 2'nd track more or less is an "Ersatzzug" from 1950 or earlier to see. These trains are still in duty and one can enjoy the horrible comfort 24/7.
The meeting point is ideal to watch all kind of people ;) Go downstairs for a shopping mall. The S trains are downstairs too.- Incredible maze of shopping one level below ground. Frequent events in Hbf halle
Igor PetrovApril 12, 2017More prisice coordinates of charger. Go to -1 using stairs at the beginning of pl. 14. It's behind the small information point. At left you should see Burger King. Watch in the direction of Starbucks.
You gotta love French super fast trains. They are so comfortable, practical and reliable.
Go visit guudy. That is fast food in slow food quality. And: They are honestly smiling.
nice, clean and on time. public transport in Switzerland is brilliant
Bettina MelendezJanuary 28, 2018There are many many shops for some last minute shopping if you take the stairs down!
Bruno LochbrunnerOctober 7, 2015The perfect App for the Zurich main station: My Station „17Mein Bahnhof 17 App 17 von SBB AGhttps://
Need to charge your phone? Just outside the downstairs Burger King is a bench with a sculpture full of power outlets
Don't be late. Trains are almost always on time and will not wait for you (or anyone else for that matter)
Yasmine BMarch 13, 2014Instructions could be better. It doesn't show where your wagon will stop exactly as in Germany. Only where you train will stop.
BestTravellerJune 18, 2023Easy to buy tickets by kiosks. 15 min to zurich airport by train. 3.70 chf per person one way
Colin DaleMarch 20, 2012If you're travelling to Geneva sit upstairs and on the left as you get great views of the Lake.
Oliver MaagSeptember 2, 2014Everything is open 365 days a year! Even on sundays, when the rest of town turns into an old western movie with tumbleweed flying about.
Hectic, but organized. For shorter-inside trams go downstairs.
Try kauffmann burger! Delicious and costs only 7 chf!
nice main station in zürich. there is a small sprüngli pastry shop before exiting to bahnhofstrasse
Download the WEMLIN from the App Store first if you intend to use public transport in Zurich. You'll see all trams and busses next to you. Travelling further abroad in Switzerland? Use the SBB app.
