"Catch-Your-Breath Views from Einstein's Alma Mater Paris has the Sacré-Coeur, on top of Montmartre, for catch-your-breath views of the city. Zurich’s answer: the terrace at ETH Zurich . Also known as the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich and where Einstein was an alum, it lords high above the city for prime views beyond to the lake, the Uetliberg, and the Alps. The bQm café and bar lets you pair that stellar view with a drink."

Located uphill the university offers a nice view over downtown city. It was quiet and students were studying in the hallways. 'Einstein-Spind' is the locker Einstein once used when he was working at the university. It has now become a mini check-in place where you would see photos of him and hear a speech given by him.

I had a trip to Zurich and in one of the squares, I noticed a group of young students going up in a cable car. For this reason, I took the cable car and went up and at the end I saw a huge building. I got curious and went inside the building and realized that it was a university. Inside the university, I visited the classes and talked to the students a little. It was a sweet day... I hope I can travel to Zurich again one day and visit the university(September 2012).

One of the most beautiful places and views I have ever seen! I visited as a tourist just for the city view. Having coffee on the terrace and riding down by cable car was such a lovely experience. The inside of the building is majestic and very impressive!

Our trip to several german-speaking countries was dedicated to visit some universities, besides the holiday itself. The biggest surprise was that exactly on the 4th of September an open doors event took place at ETH Zurich and we were able to visit it and present to several lectures. This was very interesting and helpful event for me as a parent and for my daughter as a future student. Thank you for the opportunity, ETH Zurich!

Did not explore the campus itself, but took the Polybahn up from the street and caught a glimpse of ETH Zurich, still cool to see such an iconic university from outside.

Beautiful view from the terasse, and a nice hidden commemoration of Einstein's studying at the university using the Einstein Spindl. I liked the Mileva's Spindl next to it, it is a shame it can't be opened.

One of the best technical universities in the Europe. Also view is very nice during sunset! We went up with the cable car and walked down. View was stunning and you can enter inside on some occasions

Sorry, there are no reviews in English... What? Are you kidding me? Oh right, international students seldom eat out in other places than the Mensa, true.. ETH is (unarguably) Switzerland's best university and the best university of Continental Europe. It is a Polytechnic Institute, so any topic you choose to study here will have a strong mathematical / theoretical touch to it. ETH students (especially Bachelors) seldom have a happy life. The competition is high, exams tough and professors are stingy in giving grades. But that's ETH and that's its mentality: high quality standards are hard to reach and no pain, no gain. That's also why Swiss people have a high respect for ETH and its students (unlike other universities in other countries of the world). For Master and PhD level, all courses and research are conducted in English. High percentage of students and professors even are non Swiss, so fitting in is not a challenge from a background perspective. Graduating from ETH offers one with a great recommendation and starting point for any university in the world, as well as for any company in Switzerland.
