We walked down Bahnhofstrasse from the station all the way to the lake. It was a Sunday so nothing was open and the only thing available was window shopping. It was definitely a high end shopping street. Of course, the main things of interest were the Swiss watch companies and the jewelers. Although it would be expensive, this is the... More

If you're into upscale and very expensive clothes and accessories, this is the street for that. Five digit watches are common place here. Your credit card could easily have a meltdown here.

If you are walking in Bahnhofstrasse be carefull,get well dressed because people around you are mostly very rich people.But for week end shopping hours do not forget to check as they do not work so much as a rich country.You must buy chocolate for yourself from this street paying more but it values..

Paging Kim Kardashian! This is the high roller shopping street in Zurich...HOWEVER, I can assure u that Jelmoli Dept Store has never seen KK, and you'll find excellent service and brands inside. The coffeehouses and chocolate shops won't be too hard on your wallet, either. Oh, by the way, don't bother looking for a Timex here...

It's a great street to walk on with lots of shopping options. There is a wide variety of stores & the 2 famous Swiss chocolatiers - Laderach & Sprungli. The Manora restaurant at the top of departmental store Manor is worth a visit.

Very nice walking area but WOW how expensive this place is. Everything is exorbitantly expensive in Zurich. Plan to walk around and enjoy the lovely city but eat outside of it or bring a sandwich.

This street is incredible lined with store after store of designer name stores and watches everywhere you look. How do they sell enough to keep in business with so much competition? A question for the ages. It was a fun walk of window shopping, but nothing spent on my end.

Bahnhofstrasse is worth a stroll every time we are in Zuerich. Good choice of luxury but also moderate and budget shops and places to rest, eat, drink,and watch the people and tourist from all over the world. Tram is good..walking from the Lake to Station is better. Peak into some side streets for your favorite place or view. In Summer... More

What a great place to be. So very clean filled with cafes and delightful shopping. Easy to hop on and off the trolley. The views are incredible and their are many bridges to allow access back and forth and provide for great views
