ANTIKMARANGONI
ANTIK MARANGONI is a specialist antique store and restoration workshop on Rindermarkt in Zurich’s Old Town. Expect a compact, quiet showroom rather than a museum: wooden tables, chairs, mirrors, chandeliers, and decorative pieces arranged in a historic building with a workshop feel. It suits design-minded visitors, collectors, and anyone curious about traditional furniture repair.
Price level $$$Time to spend 0.2–1 hr
Souvenir Sport
Souvenir Sport is a compact, specialist vintage shop in Zurich’s old town, where Swiss-made 20th-century clothing, alpine gear, and workwear are arranged with archive-like care. It feels closer to a small exhibition than a standard boutique: quiet, focused, and built for close looking. Expect a short, self-directed visit rather than a long browse.
Price level $$Time to spend 0.2–1 hr
Zuerich Vintage
Zuerich Vintage is a compact, independently run vintage shop in Zurich’s 8044 district, focused on curated clothing and small home objects rather than bulk thrift. Expect a short, self-directed browse through one-off pieces sourced from Swiss brockenhouses and flea markets, with pricing that sits below much of Zurich’s retail market.
Daily 0:00–24:00Price level $$Time to spend 0.2–1 hr
Tibetan Antique shop
At Zähringerstrasse 32, this small central Zürich shop is best treated as a brief curiosity stop rather than a full attraction. The label suggests Tibetan-themed antiques or import goods, though the exact business identity is not fully certain. Expect a narrow, street-level retail space, a quiet browse, and the chance to handle unusual decorative pieces in a busy old-town district close to Central and Zürich HB.
Tue–Fri 11:00–19:00 · Sat 11:00–18:00Price level $Time to spend 6–30 min
Antique Boutique
A specialist antique and silver shop on Zürichbergstrasse, this is a compact, purpose-driven stop for collectors, gift buyers, and anyone seeking silverware or precious-metal pieces. Expect a quiet indoor browse rather than a tourist attraction: a small retail space, careful handling of stock, and a focus on buying, selling, and evaluating items. It suits visitors with a clear idea of what they want.
Price level $$Time to spend 0.2–1 hr
Uhrengeschäft
A compact watch and jewelry retailer on Zürich’s Limmatquai, this is a practical stop for Swiss timepieces rather than a sightseeing draw. The appeal lies in the setting: a street-level storefront in the old town’s riverside corridor, where guild-house facades, tram noise, and steady pedestrian traffic frame a focused browse. Expect an upscale retail atmosphere, brief visits, and a strong emphasis on comparison shopping.
Daily 0:00–24:00Price level $$$Time to spend 0.2–1 hr
Gass Store
Gass Store is a small, design-led gift shop on Stampfenbachstrasse in central Zurich, geared to quick browsing rather than lingering. Expect homeware, glassware and branded decorative pieces arranged for practical gift buying. It suits travellers who want a polished retail stop within easy reach of the city centre and main station area.
Mon–Fri 9:00–18:00Price level $$Time to spend 15–45 min
