Zürich Hauptbahnhof
Zürich HB
Switzerland's largest train station, handling thousands of trains a day. Its main hall hangs a guardian angel sculpture, and in winter it becomes the city's liveliest Christmas market.
Zurich Main Station opened in 1871. Its Neo-Renaissance main facade faces Bahnhofstrasse, and it is the hub for travel to every part of Switzerland. The main hall displays Niki de Saint Phalle's colorful sculpture 'Guardian Angel.' The underground level has a large shopping area that is open on Sundays, which is convenient for stocking up. From late November each year, the main hall hosts an indoor Christmas market with a giant Christmas tree in the center. Once you exit the station, you're right on Bahnhofstrasse, next to the Swiss National Museum.
