Platzspitz Park is a beautiful and calm spot right in Zurich, perfect for taking a break from the city’s busy streets. Surrounded by water where the Limmat and Sihl rivers meet, the park feels peaceful and refreshing, with plenty of benches, shaded paths, and open green areas. It’s well-maintained, clean, and easy to access, making it great for a walk, picnic, or just sitting and enjoying the view. The history of the park adds to its charm — once known for rougher times in the past, it’s now completely transformed into a safe and inviting place for everyone. If you’re near the Swiss National Museum or Zurich’s main station, this is an easy and worthwhile stop to relax and enjoy nature in the middle of the city.
