Deux pats from the Zurich gare begins this shopping street with all of the upmarket shops and boutiques imaginable but without the crowds and litter and noise that normally comes with such endroits. More

Some of the shops are really impressive. I did not like the way the windows of some of the shops selling watches are shuttered and impossible to enjoy during the evenings. More

If you're a millionaire, even then prices will seem expensive. We passed a watch shop where the cheapest watch (out of about 50 on display) was £2,200. Many were nearer to £20,000. Nice to browse and window shop, but there are many less expensive shops 10 minutes walk away. Bahnhofstrasse runs from the main station to the lake. More

Its great to walk up the street, but look don't touch. There is a good toy stall that I always get presents from for the kids. As for food, go one street back to the department stores and take the lift to the top floor. Generally you will find a self serve restaurants that are good valve for money. More

I think a recent survey put Bahnhofstrasse as the third most expensive retail street in the world after Causeway Bay in HK and 5th Ave in New York. A great street for top end watches and jewellery. No so good if you're more of a Primark bargain hunter. The street is Zurich's busiest, but be warned on Sunday it is... More
