• Steps from the main station, next to the Swiss National Museum, so it fits easily around a train trip or a museum visit
• Playground and accessible toilet on site, both listed by the city's parks department
• Limmat boat landing stage shared with the National Museum, served by the ZSG Limmat river cruise

Platzspitz is the wedge of parkland where the Sihl and Limmat rivers meet, next to the Swiss National Museum. Paths run under tall plane trees, some of the city's oldest, to an iron gazebo and a statue of the poet Salomon Gessner.

There is a playground and an accessible toilet, and at the northern tip two bridges cross the rivers to the neighboring quarters.
