Bahnhofstrasse

Zürich’s most iconic shopping street, Bahnhofstrasse, stretches from the main train station down to Lake Zurich and is a true magnet for fashionistas and luxury lovers. The boulevard is lined with high-end boutiques, designer labels, Swiss watchmakers, and flagship stores of international brands. Side streets and arcades also hide smaller shops, jewelers, and specialty stores. Even if you’re not planning on buying, strolling along the Bahnhofstrasse offers a quintessential Zürich experience.

Globus

A landmark Swiss department store with more than a century of heritage, the Zürich flagship on Bahnhofstrasse spans five floors and offers fashion, beauty, home & lifestyle goods. The ground‑floor 'Luxury Boulevard' presents top brands under one roof, while the basement food hall showcases global gourmet products known for quality and indulgence.

Kanzlei Flea Market

Held every Saturday at Helvetiaplatz and the adjacent Kanzleistrasse area, the Kanzlei Flea Market is Zurich’s most well‑known flea market. With up to 400 stalls of second‑hand goods, you’ll find everything from furniture and vintage cameras to leather bags and jewellery. It opens around 7:20 am and runs until about 4 pm rain or shine. If you’re a bargain hunter or just curious, arriving early gives you the best pick of the pile.

Vollenweider Chocolatier Confiseur

On Theaterstrasse, Vollenweider Chocolatier Confiseur opens a window onto more than 80 years of Swiss chocolate craftsmanship. The shop showcases handmade chocolates, truffles, and macarons produced by the family-owned workshop nearby in Winterthur, blending classic recipes with inventive flavours. It’s a wonderful stop for anyone seeking authentic Swiss treats or special souvenirs to take home.

Cabaret Voltaire

Step into the birthplace of Dada at Cabaret Voltaire, where the spirit of the avant-garde is alive and thriving. By day, the shop downstairs offers books, art prints, and quirky objects from both the Dada movement and young designers, a perfect stop for unusual souvenirs. Evenings bring live jazz, a vibrant café and bar, and a creative atmosphere that reflects the building’s rich artistic history.

Im Viadukt

This revitalised district is perfect for a leisurely stroll among its unique shops, selling everything from local designer labels to international fashion and a mix of vintage and high-end pieces. Beneath the railway arches, you'll find a market hall with over 30 vendors, where you can pick up fresh produce or simply enjoy a cup of coffee at one of the cosy cafés lining the arches.

Beyer Chronometrie

Switzerland’s oldest watch shop, Beyer Chronometrie, has been a family-run business for over 250 years and is now in its seventh generation. This boutique on Bahnhofstrasse offers a carefully curated selection of luxury and vintage watches, alongside fine jewellery. And just beneath the store, you'll find the Beyer Clock and Watch Museum where you can take a look at their historic timepieces.
