Viewpoints in Zurich
Zürich rewards those who seek out its higher ground. The Zürichberg and Adlisberg offer sweeping views across the city and, on clear days, far into the Alps. In the heart of the old town, the Lindenhof provides a calm vantage point above the Limmat, while the twin towers of the Grossmünster frame the roofscape below. The Dolder Grand sits high above the city's residential quarters, and the Alpineum near Zürichhorn brings the mountain panorama down to lake level. Further afield, the Rhine Falls near Schaffhausen offers a completely different, dramatic perspective on the Swiss landscape.
