Staying near Zurich old town: what you need to know

What is the old town?

Zurich’s old town (Altstadt) lies on both banks of the Limmat: the Niederdorf, with lanes, bars and the Grossmünster, and the west bank, with the Fraumünster, St. Peter’s church and the Lindenhof viewpoint.

Getting around from here

Bahnhofstrasse and Lake Zurich are five minutes away, and the main station ten. Lake boats and the tram to the Opera leave from Bellevue.

When the hotels fill up

At Christmas, with the markets in the Niederdorf and on Werdmühleplatz, during Sechseläuten (April) and the Street Parade (August), rooms are hard to find. Zurich is expensive all year.

Which area to choose

The Niederdorf has small hotels with atmosphere and nightlife. The west bank, near Bahnhofstrasse, is quieter and pricier.
