As the largest city in the country, this train station is pretty representative of that size. It is massive, and the architecture of the station building was incredible to see. They have a lot of amenities, fitting for being the largest city. But, being the largest city makes it... too busy for tourists looking to store their luggage. The luggage lockers were full when I arrived from a flight, and I was in disbelief that there was not much storage, but thankfully there was a third party luggage storage nearby who happily took my luggage and stored it. So yeah, just needs an expansion of luggage lockers, and it would be perfect.

To be honest, our first impression of Zurich HB station wasn't great, possibly due to it's not as grand as we thought it would be and it's under refurbishment during the 2 years (2022 & 2023) we visited. However, we grew to love it after a few visits. It's clean, it's big (got 3 levels of train platforms), it has got everything too (shops, Coop, cafes, Tourist information, lockers...etc) and it's located at the heart of Zurich. In the winter, we heard that the ground floor would be filled with various Xmas festive stalls as well. More importantly, we loved to get on the Swiss Trains so we gradually loved coming to this station too. Can't wait to come back next year, the year after, & many years to come!!!

Located in the heart of Zurich, easy access to locations in the city and all over Europe. Very helpful staff throughout the building, look for bright yellow vests if you need help finding your train. There is a multilevel mall directly below the top level of the the station with great food and shopping, and it is open on Sundays.

Zurich Main Station is the most important transfer hub not only for Switzerland, but also for the whole of central Europe, as trains from Germany, France, the Netherlands to Italy pass through Zurich. It is the sixth train station in Europe in terms of traffic after Paris Gare du Nord, German Hamburg, Frankfurt and London Waterloo and Victoria stations. 155 million passengers pass through it every year. It's like if every Swiss from the Middle-aged to the elderly used the train station 17 times. The station is open almost around the clock due to the availability of night trains, closing only for 2 hours from half past one in the morning to half past four in the morning. There are 26 tracks at the station, through which 3,000 trains pass daily. Every 25 seconds. The station building itself with the triumphal arch was built in 1871 and is an architectural landmark being a striking example of Neo-Renaissance architecture. On the ground level there are 16 railway tracks and the main entrance hall of the station. I used the luggage room, 6 hours costs 5-6 francs depending on the season. The pedestrian crossings and the ShopVille shopping gallery are located one level below. There are 10 underground platforms on the lowest level. In general, it is a large, beautiful, convenient train station.
