Neighborhoods in Zurich

Zurich West (Zürich-West) is the city's former industrial quarter, now reborn as a creative hub of galleries, restaurants, concept stores, and nightclubs in converted factories and warehouses.

Zurich's Altstadt (Old Town) occupies both banks of the Limmat, with medieval guild houses, churches, and narrow lanes. The west bank (Lindenhof side) has quieter antique shops; the east bank (Grossmünster side) is livelier with cafés and clubs.

Niederdorf is Zurich's Old Town nightlife and dining strip—narrow lanes packed with restaurants, bars, and live-music venues on the east bank of the Limmat.
