High above the Limmat River, Lindenhof offers one of Zurich’s best views of the Old Town and Grossmünster. But the hill has also been a strategic site for centuries.
A Roman fort once stood here, then a royal palace built by former emperor Charlemagne’s grandson in the 9th century. Today, it’s a leafy retreat where locals gather beneath the linden trees to play chess.
