There is also a playground and a separate play area for kids to run about. Most everything is written in german so not really all that educational for older English speaking kids. There is an average restaurant onsite. The park is split by a road but there is a pedestrian bridge that connects both sides. The only negatives are getting there. If you drive, prepare to pay 10chf to park. If you take the train prepare to walk quite a ways before seeing any animals. If you take the S4 it is an additional 25 min walk from the stop to the park.

Anyone that knows me knows that I love to walk. So, after a busy day at Rheinfall, I still wanted…read moreto walk and explore Zurich. Left my hotel looking for a place with a good view of the river and old city. Like a magnet, I was pulled to Lindenhof. Lindenhof is a historic hill and public square in the heart of Zurich. It is known for its Roman origins, medieval significance, and panoramic views of the city. Lindenhof sits on a hill in Zurich's Old Town. People have lived here for thousands of years dating back to prehistoric communities during the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. Old tombstones found here have been traced back to Roman times. During the 9th century, a royal palace was built here. That site later served as a place to unify Swizerland under the Helvetic Constitution. I love how medieval history also documents how women dressed up as soldiers to defend the city. It was so nice to relax and enjoy the tranquil, tree-covered park. The panoramic views of the Limmat River, Lake Zurich, and Old Town were stunning. Listening to the church bells ring in unison was a bit magical. A beautiful park to visit on Switzerland National Day.

Yelp Review 2026 #81:…read more Part of the Abbey of St. Gall is this church of St. Gallen. It's not a huge cathedral but a decent sized. Quite beautiful on the outside but even more beautiful on the inside. While visiting the library, I checked out this church because I'm already there. I'm glad I went inside. It was quiet and pretty much empty. No tourists when I walked in. The paintings on the ceiling make this church beautiful. It's a Catholic Church in baroque style. This church has nine bells - each has a name. St. Gall is buried in the crypt on the west side of this cathedral.

It's a beautiful cathedral! It's a fine example of Baroque architecture inside and outside. The…read morevaulted and arched ceilings are all encased with beautifully detailed frescoes featuring St. Gallus along with Biblical figures and cherubs. The color scheme of the ceiling and trim (aqua, coral, and gold) really highlights these paintings. The contrast with the white columns makes it look like a colorful tiered topping on a wedding cake. It may not be as ornate as the cathedrals in Italy, but it's most certainly elegant in style. The one common thing that I did notice in the cathedrals of Switzerland is that there is still a separation between the sacred part of the church (or chancel) and the rest of sanctuary. It's nice that they've kept that tradition, but it doesn't allow visitors to truly see everything. I would have loved to see the Bell of St. Gallen, but that whole area is gated by the tall screen. Maybe it's to protect all of these religious symbols. Can you tell that I'm not Catholic? The facade of the cathedral is just as beautiful with the clock towers and statues. It's the main focal point in St. Gallen as it should be. The city around it is very charming as well. Make sure you take a walk around the grounds and city while you're there. There's all kinds of medieval architecture to discover while you're there. Very enjoyable!
