Bei diesem Gestank bekam ich Tränen in den Augen und konnte kaum noch atmen... Ich entschloss mich dem Kontrolleur zu stellen, egal was es mich kosten wird... Zum Glück war keiner im Zug. Bitte reinigt die Toiletten.

    This station I testimony of swiss architecte and design thinking. Whakaari design is made in such a way that the station is an open station opening to the main road. Unlike many stations which are typically separate building check in mission. But Zurich is no nonsense station one can Just jump off the car or bicycle and get to platform directly. It’s so effective and time saving. The station is airy and open which is amazing .

    Largest railway station in Switzerland and probably one of the largest online whole Europe as well. There are more than 40 platforms and you could easily get lost here if don't follow the paths properly. Have connections to all parts of the country. They also provide lockers to store your luggage so that you can have a roam around the city without having to carry heavy bags with you.

    Largest railway station situated in Switzerland. They have nice connections by bus, boat and trams. You can also do some shopping in the basement where there are many stores present. It is like a city under a city. They also have cloak rooms and lockets to put your stuff. You can also get your currency changed at the station itself.

    Nice modern train station with the second or third most number of train arrival and departures in the world. The building is very airy so you don't get the stale air feel of the typical train station. The only reason I'm not giving this five stars is that it's incredibly difficult to find any help, especially if you're not able to read German or French.

    Train Station Is Like Modern Era Compare To Others Station. It's Clean And Huge. A Lot Of Shops , Restaurants And Mini Stores. It also Interconnected Between Roads And Many Exits. The One Is Very Crowded. Maybe It's Holiday Time And Weekend

  • 5/5 Dr. Abdul G. 6 months ago on Google • 240 reviews
    It’s a busy place , train information updates every after 10 seconds . It’s both on ground and underground. One bad think for international travellers is if their phone number is inaccessible, they cannot use internet.

  • 5/5 Hasitha M. 6 months ago on Google
    Huge station located in the heart of the city. Zurich airport is 10 min away from this station via train. Plan ahead as to ehich train you are taking because there are more than 40 platforms and if you need to do a sudden platform change, it can be a long walk. Lower level of the station has a migros supermarket, kiosk, suvenir shops and restaurants. Luggage lockrts and free water fountain available. Toilet is a paid one. 1.5 fr pp. Download SBB app to search trains and buy tickets online. Can pay easily via apple pay.

    Large station with the capacity to efficiently move a lot of passengers. Signs are uniform which makes navigation a breeze. Plenty of amenities (market, restaurants, etc.). Great place to start a trip, end a trip, or simply spend time. (I was an English-speaking tourist visiting the area and had no problems at this station.)

    One of the most beautiful stations in Switzerland, and perhaps the world, it is very well laid out and organised, busy but never chaotic. It has a wide array of shops and is very accessible to the bus, tram and boat stops right by the station. Has connectivity to almost all parts of Switzerland, as well as international destinations. Very accessible to people with special needs as well.

    A well positioned and central station that has several shops and connections. During the winter months (end November and December) has a great Christmas market. The bathrooms (WC) are CHF 1.50, which are clean and well structured considering how busy it is. But if you want and are short you can go across the road to the parks public bathroom.

    As far as European train stations go, fairly typical but then also easy to navigate and has a vast underground shopping area. Tracks are both ground level and underground. There are many cafes and restaurants. In the building over the train station are offices and even a restaurant. There's a lost and found office as well.

    The station's cleanliness and organization were outstanding. Even during busy hours, the platforms and waiting areas were kept spotless, and the punctuality of Swiss trains ensured a smooth travel experience. The station's role as a transportation hub extended beyond trains. Zurich HB also provides connections to trams and buses, making it easy to explore the city and its surroundings.

    Being used to my main train station in Hanover, this train station feels very cold and not very space efficient. It feels very cramped, even though when I was there, it was night and mostly empty. It's fine when you're just travelling through, but I personally wouldn't want to stay here more than necessary.

  • 5/5 Graziella C. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s such a complete and big station. Trains and information are always on time and updating. There are souvenir shops and grocery/pharmacies available for your train ride!

  • 5/5 Kenny K. 1 year ago on Google
    To be honest, our first impression of Zurich HB station wasn't great, possibly due to it's not as grand as we thought it would be and it's under refurbishment during the time we visited. However, we grew to love it after a few visits. It's clean, it's big (got 3 levels of train platforms), it has got everything too (shops, Coop, cafes, Tourist information, lockers...etc) and it's located at the heart of Zurich. More importantly, we loved to get on the Swiss Trains so we gradually loved coming to this station too. Can't wait to come back next year!!!

  • 5/5 so1 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It's a very easy-to-understand station. I came from the airport to the central station. Arrive in the basement. There is a tourist information center on the first floor, and it is good to get a map for sightseeing. (Original) 非常にわかりやすい駅です。 私は空港から中央駅迄来ました。 地下に到着します。 一階に観光案内所があり地図を貰って観光すると良いです。

  • 5/5 Oscar S. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is huge, maybe one of the largest train statios we have been. We could find train platforms without any problem. It has restaurants, differente kind of stores, etc. Everything works fine.

  • 5/5 Swanky C. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here by train from Lugano and I was shocked how clean and organized it looked. Also it's like a whole shopping center underground. They have a lot of shops, chocolate boutiques and even few grocery shops. Also from first time it was a bit confusing because it's so big, but we managed to find our train on the way back. NOTE: Your train can be standing on platform but it can be second train. Sometimes we saw other train on the platform and some workers told us that our train is behind this one. So you may need to walk pass that first train to see yours, because their platforms are very long.

    I went to visit Switzerland in the past and I used to take my love from here, this is a very good place, there is no problem of eating and drinking here, and there is also a separate place to rest here, I like to go here. Liked it I will come here next time also thank you

  • 4/5 Bruce B. 1 year ago on Google
    Zürich Hauptbahnhof or Zürich HB as commonly knows it’s Zurich Central Station. The station is huge, many levels, with up to 44 tracks/platforms (Gleis in German, shortened to P on the SBB App ), not always very well signed. Make sure to give yourself time to find your whereabouts and how to use the self-ticketing kiosks. The SBB App ( Swiss National Railroad) is very convenient, probably the best way to buy tickets. The line to purchase a ticket in person can be very long, specially in summer (now in 2022 the line was at least 30 mins long). The shopping area has everything you can imagine from supermarkets: Coop & Migros to luxury chocolates: Sprüngli. It can be difficult to find them in the labyrinths under the station. Toilets/WC/Restrooms require a SFR 2- coin to get it in. There are showers available as well.

    (Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful and convenient train stations in my opinion. It's incredible how so many trains are placed on different levels. There are signs everywhere and it is very difficult to get lost. There are many cafes, shops right in the station, exit to the tram. The Christmas market, which usually takes place in the station building itself, is impressive, it's a pity that this year you only have to admire the chandelier (Original) Один из самых красивых и удобных вокзалов на мой взгляд. Невероятно, как на разных уровнях размещается такое количество поездов. Везде указатели и заблудиться очень сложно. Много кафе, прямо в самом вокзале магазины, выход к трамваем. Рождественская ярмарка которая проходит обычно в самом здании вокзала впечатляет, очень жаль, что в этом году приходится любоваться только люстрой

When I passed in front of Zurich Central Station by sightseeing bus, the train was just coming in. Don't go through big train stations in Europe The route is difficult to understand because it is folded back, and it is strange that there is no ticket gate.

    What an amazing experience! My husband and I traveled from Zurich to Lucerne for the day and it was such an easy experience. You can buy the ticket for 1st class or 2nd class only difference is the seats are bigger in 1st class. It's essentially the same thing with the same views. We saw parts of different cities as the trained moved and fell in love with switzerland transportation systems which includes busses and sky liner. We didn't even feel that the direct way was only an hour. Our suggestion is to seat upstairs next to a window to enjoy the great views.
