• Uphill on foot through the narrow medieval lanes of the Old Town, so the walk up is part of the outing
• Chess under the lime trees, with tables on the gravel square and regular pétanque tournaments and theater
• Roman tombstone copy in the Pfalzgasse wall on the way up, the stone that preserved Zurich's Roman name, Turicum

Lindenhof is a gravel square under lime trees on a moraine hill above the Old Town, with a view across the Limmat to the university buildings. People play chess under the trees, and the square hosts pétanque tournaments and theater.

It was a Roman fort from 15 BC. The fountain recalls the legend of Zurich women who, in 1292, dressed in armor to fool a Habsburg army.
