Join me on an early morning stroll along Bahnhofstrasse in Zürich from Lake Zürich to the main station Zürich Hauptbahnhoff (HB).

Bahnhofstrasse is known as one of the world’s most expensive and exclusive shopping avenues, with designers like Gucci, Luis Vuitton and Versace all having stores there. Additionally, it is the centre of Swiss banking with major Swiss banks UBS and Credit Suisse both having their headquarters on Paradeplatz, which is halfway down Bahnhofstrasse.
