The Bahnhofstrasse is certainly a very nice long shopping street with lots of exclusive boutiques and shops. You can buy anything here, ranging from a piece of Swiss chocolate to a Swiss Rolex! Ofcourse all very expensive. A visit to Zürich isn't complete without a visit to the Bahnhofstrasse. Don't spend too much time here though, there are more interesting... more

Bahnhofstrasse is very similar to any major shopping street in Europe.

Beats Hong Kong, NYC, other urban shopping meccas. Yes, it's pricey, but this is Switzerland. This area beats other haute shopping centers because of the variety, and the proliferation of small boutiques, local designers who co-exist and thrive next to the usual Prada, D &G, Chanel, etc. World famous jewelry stores in their typical Swiss discreteness exist next to H&M.... more
