Bahnhofstrasse is Zurich’s most famous shopping street and one of the world’s premier destinations for luxury shopping. Stretching 1.4 kilometers from Zurich’s main train station (Hauptbahnhof) to Lake Zurich, this elegant boulevard is lined with designer boutiques, flagship stores, and world-renowned jewelers.
The street’s charm lies not only in its high-end offerings but also in its beautifully maintained atmosphere. Bahnhofstrasse is pedestrian-friendly, with wide sidewalks and tree-lined sections that make it perfect for strolling and window shopping. Along the way, you’ll find iconic Swiss brands like Bally and Sprüngli, as well as international luxury names such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Chanel.
For a sweet treat, don’t miss Confiserie Sprüngli, a historic Zurich confectioner famous for its Luxemburgerli macarons and pralines. The café on Paradeplatz is an ideal spot for a coffee break during your shopping trip.
The street’s proximity to Zurich’s Old Town and cultural landmarks makes it a convenient addition to any city tour.
