Hi, after some plan change, I only have a few hours in Zurich, arriving from Milan around mid-day and need to be back before the evening. I've heard that most of Zurich's sights are within walking distance from the train station Zurich hbf. How would you suggest my walking route to be to see the best of the city? I will be travelling in December. Thanks! Not sure exactly how much time you have, but there are excellent walking tours that start at the tourist information center in the train station. Otherwise, yes a lot of sights are within easy walking distance of the train station. I would suggest checking a tourist map online to see what you find interesting. If you only have a few hours in Zurich and want to get a snap shot, then I suggest you hop on the tram from the train station (any that go down Bahnhofstrasse (or better still to the left of the station kinda opposite McDonalds, catch No.4 (in the direction of Tiefenbrunnen it is written on the front of the tram) it takes you along the river Limatt which essentially divides the Old Town Zurich into two parts, and it stops along the way in Old Town, Town Hall, the old bridges, and you can hop on and off, if you get one of those 2 hour tickets, as i think paying 8 franks for a day when you only have a few hours is not a good economy, the
