Platzspitz park, Urban park next to Swiss National Museum, Zürich, Switzerland.
The park stretches along the convergence of the Limmat and Sihl rivers, creating a natural peninsula in the heart of Zürich's historic district.
The grounds transformed from a medieval hunting area in the 14th century into a public garden space, gaining recognition through the first National Exhibition of 1883.
The park features a preserved 1883 music pavilion where orchestras perform concerts during summer months, adding musical entertainment to the green setting.
Visitors reach the park within five minutes by foot from Zürich main station, following signs toward the Swiss National Museum entrance.
The peninsula formation allows guests to observe two different rivers flowing past three sides of the park before merging at its northern tip.
