Review & FAQ:
Bellevue Square was built in 1856 atop a former swampland between Lake Zurich and the river Limmat. The square was named after Bellevue, a former grand hotel, and translates as ‘a beautiful sight’ from French. One of the most famed landmarks in Zurich, the town square and its nearby settlements are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Visitors can easily explore the stunning square as there are many trams and regional bus lines that go between Bellevue Square and other locations. One of the most famous spots to visit when in Bellevue Square is Limmatquai or Cafe Odeon, but there are other coveted restaurants as well.
