Rechberggarten is a hidden oasis…read more I was walking around University of Zurich (UZH) and accidentally walked through the nicely motif gates and I walked in to a nice garden. Nice and peaceful. The "gardeners" here are friendly and all smile. If you walked up the stairs, you will have a nice view and you can also exit through the upper gate.

There's usually music drifting out of one of the neighboring practice rooms, and from the higher levels of the garden you get a good view of Üetliberg. The benches are unusually angular for such a baroque setting; sturdy enough, just odd. The upper gates (usually, but not always, open) exit out to UZH, which can make this a scenic alternative to walking on Kantonschulstrasse.

A very welcome bonus for our layover stay at an airport hotel…read more We were staying one night at the Hyatt, and were so appreciative to find not only green space here, but a decent sized park with maintained paths. Once we ate dinner we were able to get in a nice long walk in the trees here before retiring to our room. The park was clean, with paths both paved and gravel. All paths culminate at the top of a slight hill where there's a large fountain and lovely distant mountain views. They've even included an elevator/funicular of sorts to ride up or down from the middle entrance of the mall most of the way up the hill. As nature lovers and avid walkers it sure was nice to have access to a decent amount of peaceful green space so close to the airport.

A passive park with walkways, well kept grass (very few leaves on the ground despite the season) and several benches that would capture the sun if it were shining or sit in the shade of the trees. The park is located adjacent to the Neumarkt tram stop. It is named for Jean Rudolf von Salid (1901-1996), a Swiss historian and writer. There is an extensive wikipedia article https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Rudolf_von_Salis that I will leave to the reader to digest. [Review 16473 overall - 23 in Switzerland - 1981 of 2021.]

Love hiking and found the coolest bridge connecting Hurden and Rapperswil in Switzerland. It's a…read morepedestrian walkway that connects hiking/walking trails, cycling trails between Rapperswil-Hurden. It's made of solid oak, 2,759 ft long (.5 miles). It's goes over water and the lake is so clear you can see all the way to the lake floor. You'll see fish, shells, amazing birds and homes on this walk.

I must say, I was really surprised by this tourist attraction of Zurich. They have a chinese park…read moreright in the centre. This garden of park which was built as a gift from the chinese sister town of Kunming. The park is extremely clean and inside there you feel as if you had stepped in another world. Of course, there are always the tourists reminding you that you're still in Zurich, but it's really amazing. The bad thing about it, I think, is that you have to pay an entrance fee, which I find pretty strange for a park. But well, it is really new so may they are asking entrants to have to cover up the investment. Anyway, the gardens are lovely and perfect for a romantic walk.

If you want the best vantage point in Zurich, Lindenhof is well worth the uphill walk. It takes a…read morelittle bit of effort and uphill steps to reach the top, but the payoff is immediate. The view from the terrace is genuinely breathtaking--you get a stunning look across the Limmat river, the historic church spires, and the rooftops stretching across the city. The park itself has a relaxed, peaceful vibe under the trees where you can just sit, take photos, and soak it all in. Once you're done enjoying the scenery, it's an easy, charming stroll right down into Old Town (Altstadt) to explore the alleyways, check out the local shops, and grab some good food. Definitely a must-visit spot when exploring central Zurich.

But this is truly next level and puts all of those parks to shame. The park is in an enormous old building that is part of a former industrial complex of warehouses, factories, train depots, etc, most of which have been revitalized and renovated. The park boasts areas for trampolines, weightlifting, skate park, indoor soccer, skate jumps, rock climbing, as well as a full restaurant with alcohol (a bit of a novelty for us Americans). We all played together and had an absolute blast. There is something for everyone whether you are a little kid or a middle-aged suburban dad reliving his childhood. The best part is that you pay for the entire day so you can come and go as you please all day. We did about three hours in the morning and another hour at night and definitely got our money's worth. Another note for Americans is that there is no waiver to sign, and very little adult supervision throughout the park. The park is run on a very obvious system of knowing your limits and not doing things you are incapable of. While it did get very crowded in the morning, none of us had any issues. Everyone was very polite and good at taking turns with the equipment. Overall I can't recommend this place enough, and wish we had something similar to it in America.

Nice view by lake. Modern equipment and never over crowdedread more
