It’s free to visit the Bahnhofstrasse. However, many travelers prefer to visit as part of a tour of Zurich. Walking tours of Zurich’s Old Town cost from around US$40, with private tours by electric tuk-tuk from around US$100; full-day private city tours can cost from US$1,000 per group.

Most Swiss stores close on Sundays, and the shops on the Bahnhofstrasse are no exception. Between Monday and Friday, you can expect most shops to be open between 10am and 6pm, although some open earlier and/or close later; stores generally shut a little earlier on Saturdays.

Most tours that visit the Bahnhofstrasse are general Zurich city tours, many of which stop at the famous shopping street to add atmosphere and point out some of the signature watch stores. For an in-depth experience of the thoroughfare’s luxury outlets, book a Zurich designer shopping tour.

Bahnhofstrasse runs between Bahnhofplatz and Bürkliplatz, so it takes about 20 minutes to walk the entire length, which is a little less than 1 mile (1.6 kilometers). If you wanted to tour the shops, however, you could easily spend all day discovering luxury watches, jewelry, and accessories.

Yes, the Bahnhofstrasse is accessible. It’s flat, with well-made sidewalks and dropped curbs or ramps for easy crossing, while many stores also have wheelchair access. It’s still worth booking a wheelchair-accessible tour of Zurich, however, as you may face challenging steps, inclines, and cobbles elsewhere in the city.
