Artful garden from the 1900s
Rieterpark
Why locals love it
This small park on a hill is a nice retreat from buzzing Zurich, where one can have a quiet picnic with the kids or enjoy the view on the Lake Zurich and even on the Glarner Alps. Still its very accessible from the surrounding residential area and with public transport.
Why you should visit it
This is how high-life Zurich must have looked in the 1900s: a historical park with a breadth of tree varieties. Its adjacent to the Villa Schönberg, the Villa Wesendonck and the Rietberg Museum, which all are worth a visit, too. It spans 70,0000 square meters and a breadth of tree varieties.
Special tip
In winter, bring a sledge (or a plastic sack) and sledge down the hills
