Bürkliplatz

  Bürkliplatz sits at the edge of Lake Zurich, at the intersection of the busy Bahnhofstrasse and your perfect lakeside stroll. Dating back to the late 19th century, this vibrant square serves as a main hub for boat tours and public transport, offering a gateway to explore the beautiful lake and surrounding areas. In December, the area transforms with a festive Christmas market, drawing locals and visitors alike to enjoy seasonal treats and crafts. Here, you can relax on one of the benches, watch the boats come and go, or simply take in the view of the Alps in the distance. Don’t forget to snap a few photos of the impressive fountain that adds a lively touch to this focal point of Zurich life.
