very busy train station in the heart of Zurich

Zurich Main Station – Transportation Hub and Historic Monument Zurich Main Station is not only the largest but also one of the oldest train stations in Switzerland. With almost 3,000 arrivals and departures per day, it is also considered one of the busiest train stations in the world. Domestic and long-distance trains from neighboring France, Austria, Italy, and Germany characterize the terminus of Switzerland's very first railway line, the "Spanish Bun Railway." It is located directly adjacent to the Swiss National Museum on the edge of the old town. The Sihl River flows beneath its tracks and platforms, and its confluence with the Limmat River is also nearby. Zurich Main Station was originally built as a terminus station. However, there are now underground through-tracks for the S-Bahn (suburban railway). Another underground section for regular train traffic is under construction and is scheduled for completion in 2014. The building, designed by architect Jakob Friedrich Wanner, opened in 1871, replacing the old structure by Gustav Albert Wegmann from 1847. The monumental main entrance, designed as a triumphal arch, led into a magnificent interior with numerous courtyards and arcades, waiting rooms, and restaurants.

Great view with barbecue area, can be easily connected to the Irchelturm.

The late classicist Stadelhofen train station from 1894 was expanded in the 1990s as a result of the expansion of regional rail traffic. The Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava was commissioned with the project. Calatrava created an open, partly transparent roof made of concrete and steel for the platforms, which is modeled on the ribs of a bull.

The largest train station in Switzerland

From the 31.5 meter high steel construction from 1888 you have a great view over Winterthur and the local recreation area Stadtwald Eschenberg. You can reach the viewing platform via 167 steps. If the visibility is good, you can see the Alps from here.

Great view while roasting.
