Lindenhof
About Lindenhof
Lindenhof isn't just a public square; it's Zurich's open-air lounge, steeped in history and offering some of the best views in town. Perched on a hilltop, this tranquil space was once the site of a Roman castle and later a medieval palace.
Today, it's a peaceful retreat where locals play chess, tourists snap photos, and history buffs revel in the area's rich past. The panoramic views of the Old Town and the Limmat River are simply icing on the cake. Whether you're seeking a quiet moment or a lesson in history, Lindenhof delivers both with a scenic backdrop.
Best Time/Season to Visit:
Lindenhof is enchanting all year round, but it’s particularly delightful in spring and summer when the lime trees are lush and the city buzzes with energy.
