Zurich Main Station
Highlight • Rest Area
Zurich Main Station (abbreviated Zurich HB, also known as Zurich Main Station, until 1893 Zurich Station) in Zurich is the largest railway station in Switzerland. It is a major railway hub for trains from Switzerland and abroad. With an average of 461,000 passengers on weekdays (as of 2019) and around 3,000 train journeys per day, it is the busiest station on the Swiss Federal Railways network and also one of the busiest railway stations in Europe.
The main station is located north of the old town. It has a total of 26 tracks for passenger traffic in four sections. The above-ground terminus station primarily serves long-distance trains. The underground stations Museumstrasse on the north side and Löwenstrasse on the south side are designed as through stations. The former serves exclusively Zurich S-Bahn trains, while the latter also serves long-distance trains. In addition, the terminus of the Sihltal-Zürich-Uetliberg Railway (SZU) is located beneath the adjacent station square to the south. The station sections are connected by the underground shopping arcade Shopville. To the west of the main station, the tracks extend for approximately four kilometers to Altstetten station.
The main station was opened in 1847 as the terminus of Switzerland's first railway line, from Zurich to Baden, and is thus one of the oldest railway stations in the country. The station hall, designed by Jakob Friedrich Wanner in the Neo-Renaissance style and completed in 1871, replaced the original buildings. This hall no longer serves its original purpose, as rail traffic was moved to the adjacent train shed in 1930. The above-ground sections of the main station are listed as cultural assets of national importance and are protected as historical monuments. The underground station Museumstrasse opened in 1989. The S-Bahn service and the SZU station followed a year later. Finally, in 2014, the Löwenstrasse underground station was added.

St. Peter's Church, Zurich
Highlight • Religious Site
200 years later, Zurich geared up. St. Peter received the largest tower clock in Europe, with a clock face with a diameter of 8.64 meters on each tower side. The time on the clock at St. Peter became the official city time. All clocks had to be set according to St. Peter until the 20th century. Today, the clock has lost its importance in this regard. It is only at the Sechseläuten that it sets the tone. When it strikes 6 p.m. in the evening at St. Peter, the "Böögg" is lit and burned on the Sechseläutenplatz at Bellevue.
