Useful tips
- It's a brief viewpoint, so it's best added midway through an Old Town walk.
- Around sunset, the river and tower silhouettes look softer.
- When planning the route, you may wonder whether to stay longer for the view. But since, as the official guide notes, it's an Old Town spot close to Zurich Main Station, it's less demanding to treat it as a short rest stop between moves.
- Knowing the historical background -- that it was once the site of an ancient Roman fort and a 9th-century royal palace -- makes it easier to understand it as a starting point for the Old Town rather than just a hilltop square.
Frequently asked questions
Is Lindenhof worth a separate trip on its own?
It is better viewed as a viewpoint to stop at during an Old Town walk than as a standalone destination.
What can you see from Lindenhof?
Zurich Tourism says Lindenhof offers views of the Old Town, Grossmünster, City Hall, the Limmat River, the university, and ETH Zurich. It's a small square, so it suits a quick viewpoint stop during a walk rather than a long stay.
