About Platzspitz
The Platzspitz, the triangle of green opposite the Main Station where the Sihl joins the Limmat, is one of the city’s oldest green spaces: a 15th-century meadow for shooting festivals (the Knabenschiessen began here), avenues of trees planted along both rivers in 1780, and a music pavilion and paths added in the 19th century. Today it is an easy place for a stroll or a lunch break, and the National Museum holds concerts and open-air films in its courtyard.
