Lindenhof

Located in the heart of Zurich’s Altstadt, this hilltop park is one of the city’s oldest historic sites. In Roman times, it was the location of a fortified castrum. Today, it offers a quiet green space with benches and chessboards, and a panoramic view over the Limmat River. From here, you can clearly see the opposite bank of the old town, including the towers of the Grossmünster.

Pretty much a viewpoint in zurich. But nothing much here. Climbing steps expected here, not recommended woth luggages or eldery. But its a good viewpoint to see zurich

Amazing hilltop view of the city. There's a couple of ramps up and a set of stairs. There's a giant chessboard and a play park as well as your view of Zurich. Definitely worth a visit.

A great spot to take in the city of Zurich. Easy to reach, and both sunrise and sunset are beautiful. The walk up is pleasant, can drop by cute shops along the way. Peaceful, scenic, and perfect for a quiet moment or a photo.

Excellent view of the city! You could easily spend hours just admiring the breathtaking panorama of Zurich. Although it’s a popular spot with many tourists, there are still plenty of benches and peaceful corners where you can sit and enjoy the scenery without feeling crowded. A must-visit for anyone coming to Zurich!

Zurich is a city that blends history, nature, and modernity harmoniously. The Old Town is full of charm, with cobblestone streets, medieval buildings, and courtyards. A walk along the lake is especially relaxing, with stunning views. During daytime, the place can get quite crowded with tourists, so I recommend taking an early morning walk along the river. There are also many cafes, restaurants, and stores alongside the river - so a half-day visit to the old town is recommended.

Not much of a view. However, it is free. Steep climb up but manageable and short.

Nice little place slightly raised above the Old Town. Trees for shade and quite a few benches to site on. Nice and quiet despite lots of groups of tourists coming and going. A good view of Zurich Old Town from a modest height, but not spectacular.

A quaint little hilltop park built on top of a former Roman Fort. It has great views of the river and Old Town and would be a great meeting place. It's easy to walk to and is not very steep so it's easy accessible for people of all ages. There are trees, wonderful views, and is a great place to really soak the city in. It is also free and can accommodate groups of very large sizes. Also a great spot to spend a romantic minute with your partner. I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Zürich.

Small park with lovely views overlooking the river and the area around Old Town. Lots of shade, birds, and benches, as well as various games. Great spot to take a break as you're wandering the area, but quite busy on the weekend.

A lovely park that provides plenty of shade and the best views of the city overlooking the river. Benches all around so you can sit and enjoy the scenery and people watch. Public restrooms available that are clean and take coin or crest card to enter. Centrally located this park is a definite stop on your time in Zurich.

Pretty view - worth the walk. I'm not sure how to rate a viewpoint - it's an overlook of the city but not overly breathtaking. There are benches at the view point and stairs to get up/down and it was clean. I read that this was on/near the grounds near where Albert Einstein studied and taught.

While walking along the banks of the Limmat River, we saw a bunch of people on a hilltop and decided to go there. It's a nice quiet area (at least when we got there) with a view of river and Grossmunster. It's a good place to take pictures if you're itching for that Instagram-que photo.

I wanted to start with the "steepness" some reviews were mentioning about the walk from the main street to the top - it really isn't that steep. Anyone who can walk can definitely make it up with out struggling. If someone's older, on a walker, or is pushing someone on a wheelchair taking it slow would get you up (although there're steps to get to the park and I'm not quite sure if there's a ramp as I didn't see one). The steep part to get to the top is no more than 0.10mi long. We walked from Honold's :) Now on the park itself...we went at night because it was super crowded during the day time and we do not regret it! The view is lovely, especially for people like me who are suckers for skylines. The park is clean, safe, and peaceful. It was the perfect stop to end the night. I hope everyone who visits it enjoys it as much as we did!

Not much up here, as it's just an empty park, but it's historic because it was once the site of a Celtic and later a Roman fort. Great view overlooking Zürich old town and the Limmat River. But be wary that it's quite a steep walk up and down from the old town, and especially slippery when going down in the snow.

An awesome view of the city of Zurich. It was definitely a hike to get up there, but it was worth it. You get to see the city itself, all of the churches, and the river and the lake. A very nice, romantic view.

This was a nice walk uphill, but worth it to see an incredible view of the city. It's located in a beautiful and quiet little park. In the view of the city, it's easy to see the Limmant River, The Grossmunster, and the Fraumunster. They also have life size chess and checkers.

kids were in heaven. the park was beautiful. nice architecture. buildings interesting to look at.

Lindenhof is a square nestled in the heart of the old town, but located high enough that you can enjoy a great view of the Limmat, a section of the Limmatquai and old town, the University up on the hill right across, and the Grossmünster towers on the right. At the same time, it is a surprisingly peaceful location, so it's a great place to stop for a snack (which you must bring along, there are no restaurants or kiosks here), read a book, have a chat with a friend, etc. A lot of people like to sit on the outer wall and look down at the river and people-watch, but I personally don't recommend it because you are quite high up!

One of my favorite places in Zurich. It's a quiet park just on top of Bahnhofstrasse, the main shopping street. The smell is lovely in the summer with all the trees and the view is just amazing. People are playing chess and pétanque and there are plastic chairs to grab or benches. I feel like I'm almost not in Zurich here...

We had an hour in Zurich before catching our flight, so met a local friend who did a wonderful job of showing us the city under sixty minutes. To save time we caught the tram to start the trip at this beautiful park that is high up above the city and gives you an amazing view. Wonderful fountain, lots of benches just to relax, and a playground on one end of the park to bring the kids. It was a lovely spot and glad we were able to see it.

One of my favorite places in the city center of Zurich. Lindenhof park is a quiet little park on top of a hill that overlooks the Limmat River and the city center below. On nice sunny summer days, you can find groups of musicians playing various instruments and singing together, people playing boules, parents with their children, and of course, tourists snapping pictures of the beautiful scenery all around. I always like to pop up there whenever I'm around the area.

One of the best views of Zurich! It is an hill in the old city which is usually quite occupied with tourists.There is, however, enough space for everyone, It is quite spacious and locals usually meet there to play bowls or chess. If I want to impress someone with my city, I usually bring them up there! You can't go wrong.

My favourite spot in Zurich! A place to breathe and relax in the middle of busy Zurich.
