Another wonderful thing to do in Zurich is to enjoy the cityscape from the Polyterrasse, a hidden gem on the ETH Zurich grounds that offers stunning views and a relaxing atmosphere. The terrace provides plenty of seating, making it an ideal spot to unwind with a coffee from a nearby café or simply take in the view. It is popular with both local students and tourists, as a meeting place as well as for taking beautiful photos of Zurich. To enjoy a lovely sunset view, head to the Polyterrasse — a spacious terrace of ETH Zurich with breathtaking views over the rooftops of Zurich. You can get there in just two minutes on the Polybahn, a charming little funicular departing from Limmatquai 144 in the center of Zurich. Or, if you're up for it, you can walk up on foot.
