Getting there

Walking

From Zurich West, head towards the nearest tram station, which is either 'Hardplatz' or 'Escher-Wyss-Platz'. If you are at 'Hardplatz', take Tram 4 or 13. If you are at 'Escher-Wyss-Platz', you can take Tram 6. Both trams will take you towards the city center. Alight at the stop 'HB' (Zürich Hauptbahnhof). Once you exit the tram, follow the signs for the main exit of the train station. From the main exit, walk towards the 'Bahnhofstrasse', a prominent shopping street. Continue straight until you reach the 'Lindenhof' area, which is just a short walk up the hill from the 'Bahnhofstrasse'. It should take around 15 minutes from the tram stop to reach Lindenhof.

Get off at the stop 'Zürich, Central' which is close to the University of Zurich. From there, it’s a short walk to Lindenhof. Walk towards the 'Lindenhof' park, which is located a bit uphill. This route may take about 25-30 minutes in total, including the bus ride and walking distance.
