Waterside City Walk

Three different waterways make up the route for this varied walk through the center of Zurich: the historic Schanzengraben canal, the laid-back waterfront promenade by Lake Zurich, and the lively banks of the Limmat. This route, which is approximately four kilometers (2.5 miles) long, offers a perfect combination of natural splendors and city flair.

The route starts at Zurich Main Station and leads straight to the Schanzengraben canal – a former moat. After passing the Old Botanical Garden, it continues on to Lake Zurich, where the promenade between Bürkliplatz and Bellevue is the ideal place for a relaxed stroll.

The final stretch of the walk is along the Limmatquai – offering a view of historic facades, the towers of the Grossmünster, and Zurich’s lively Old Town.
