Hirschenplatz is a lively square in the Niederdorf district of Zürich's old town. It's surrounded by colorful medieval buildings, which are home to cafés and boutique shops.

📍See Hirschenplatz on Google maps.

No walking tour is complete without passing through this square. Don't miss the Heidi cow perched on the balcony of Hotel Adler.

If you want to eat on this square, tourists love Swiss Chuchi, which serves all the Swiss classics, including fondue year round (reservations a must). For more modern eats, we prefer Barfüsser Sushi Bar. For quick eats, grab a sandwich at Piadina Bar. Best coffee near here is Cafe Henrici.
