Lindenhof hill in Zürich (Kreis 12)

We came here on a walking tour of Zurich and its a great spot to get a view of different parts of the city. You can see the two universities in the background ATH and Zurich university, as well as the river Limmat. Take a sip from the fountain and feel like a local!

wonderful view, clean park, restful, relaxing, must visit

One of the best place in Zurich to chill and have good time with family and friends.. you can get beautiful city view with skyline and Mountains. Perfect place for causal as well as special occasion photography. View from top is just mesmerising and good thing is it you can visit anytime i.e weekend or weekday. Little rush on weekend but very less compared to other spots.Recommended spot for zurich sight seeing.

You can see everything from here, it is easy to find, the best time come here is sunset time, i came here in the afternoon and i went to other places first and back here on sunset time

Nice place to sit in quiet,watching nature and Zurich

Nice view of the city, requires a wee bit climbing. Popular place, hence crowded even on a weekday.Dont forget your water container as you are offered free drinking water in a beautiful fountain (you might have company drinking with you though as the photo indicates ^^).

Wonderful view of zurich. You can go to the top and there are giant chess boards which are pretty cool. Clean water to drink everywhere like the rest of Zurich!

A little park in the middle of Zurich that is completely free! Can get crowded but i can see why given the pretty views of the river and the city from up there.

Absolutely exceeded expectation. Its similar to Amsterdam in terms of river, but the houses and buildings have better variety and more styles. The weather can largely affect your experience here. Sun and clear view are critical. Just walk along the river from Zurich train station to the vast lake in the south, there are rewarding views around every corner. Just one thing to note, the food prices in city center are ridiculously high, comparing to other major European cities. Better to book hotel out of center and have dinner elsewhere. Dont worry about transportation, the train and bus are frequent and convenient. Its recommended to buy tickets with SBB app, but you can probably take public transport without tickets as well. No one checks ticket as far as I observed.

Lindenhof is an elevated park from which you get some views of Zurich. Its a relaxing place and a nice stop on a walking tour of the town centre.

Offers nice view of Zurich old town & the river & Grossmunger.

It’s a normal view up there. Bern has a way better view.

Nice little park with beautiful views

This is probably the "best" photo spot / vantage point for Zurich, it overlooks the whole river and nearby church towers, perfect view for portrait shots!

Nice views from on top of a hill. Nice shaded park area. I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here but if you are nearby, it’s worth waking up to the top for a few minutes.

Good place with a nice view of old City of Zürich and a proper European vibe, people are chilling playing the large chess(the one in which you can walk on the board )

Calm and serene place . Crowded by tourists

You will almost see old town from the top. View is very good and within quite walkable distance from Central station.

Nice view over some part of Zurich

The path from Fraumunster parallel through the river until the small hill at night was very beautiful! This small park has a nice view to almost half of the city! Nice romantic place great for couples.

Wonderful view of the Zurich city and lake. Highly recommend!

It has the best view of the city. Very peaceful place to relax and watch the city.

Really cool lookout of Zurich. Fairly easy to get to if you want to stretch your legs and enjoy some free views of the city.

A place in the higher part of the city. You can see many parts of the city from this hill. However, I did not find the area very functional. There are a few benches and the floors are filled with pebbles.The floor can be greened and made more spacious.

Relaxed place and nice views.

Its a great place to spend time, because its free and has a childrens park, chess and incredible views. I went in summer and i really enjoyed being here.

Amazing view over the old town of Zürich! There are sometimes nice animations, like people singing with a music band. I love going there just chilling and looking at the view 💕

A great place to visit. It is considered as milestone of Swiss identity. Inside you can admire a project of old city from wood. Also a great pictures (replicason walls that could tell the story of beginning of the Switzerland.

Gorgeous area, perfect for summer holiday

Nice view of Limat. Multiple teams playing ball 😁

It’s nothing but garden on a hilly terrain in the middle of the Zurich city. Has lots of empty place and gives you a pleasurable view of the riverside and buildings. There is also place to play human chess with your friends or family.

Peaceful spot with a nice relaxed atmosphere. The steep cobbled Street up to the Lindenhof is charming and there is a great view of the Limmat river and Zurich below. Nice place for a picnic.

Best for romantic date, if you are not a poet this place will make one out of you..You can play petanque and chess for free here

Decent place to see Zurich City. Good place to picnic also, with several benches and trees for shade. There is a community of elderly playing games and enjoying the company of one another.

I love this spot over the Limmat River, just high enough to have a great view of Zürich. It’s an easy clim in old downtown. It has benches and a fountain, some shade, great spot for a picnic

Beautiful view of the city. Nice and pleasant during the day. Went back on a Friday night to get some night pictures and it was full of people playing music and drinking, so not so relaxing but still beautiful.

Very nice and calm place. You can have a nice view of the city from up there. You can also play giant chess or have a nice walk with your family and friends. The view of the city is really breathtaking from up top. They also have a nice fountain from where you can drink water if thirsty.

Nice and relaxing place with view of the city and scenic riverside. You can spend time here after strolling city. Highly recommended.

It takes a mini-stair hike to this point, an absolute must if you are visiting Zurich or a localite. When you look around, there is a clear distinction between the regulars and the photo clickers. Impressive views of one half of the city centre, the churches, the flow of Limmat and the ETH campus. On the other end, chess games, picnic spots make this place a great option to unwind and relax.

Stumbled upon this area by accident, but what a wonderful surprise it was! Other than the scenic riverside view of the city, there were life-size chess boards and a swing set. Mix of locals walking their dogs and children as well as tourists. Good place to spend some time relaxing and having fun.

Beautiful viewing point of the Limmat and the city. Can get crowded in the afternoon and when the weather is nice 😊

One of the best places to a get a birds eye view of Zurich! A must see and even a great place to have a picnic ! Insta: Lainnielove

Really pretty scenic area to chill and enjoy the view.

The views of Zurich are excellent! Its a great spot to relax and spend some time enjoying food and soaking in the city. Highly recommend it!

Although it was a cloudy day, but it is a great observation to enjoy the city view!

It was very relaxing to sit down on the benches looking at the city from above.

With a few steps up you will reach Lindenhof. Here you can the view of old town.

Nice and best city view on zurich. You can see around the high view and beautiful sunset. Like this park and hope everyone can go here to take pic.

Lindenhof is a Roman fortress. On a hill in the middle of the city by the Limmat River, this fortress lies in the historic Old Town. located on good location which can see the city of Zurich all around both the view of the old city Or will it be a view of the Limmat River?

No words needed. It’s the most beautiful spot to see Zurich. I always bring people here the first time they visit Zurich. Perfect place to just chill, enjoy the view, talk, read book, observe the season, etc. There’s a lovely coffee shop in the stairs where you can just buy coffee and drink it here. It’s nicer now during pandemic coz this place is super touristy.
