Altstadt
Among all the
neighborhoods in Zürich, Altstadt is definitely the most picturesque! As the 'Old Town' district of the city, it captures the old-world charm of Switzerland the most, with each corner looking like it came straight out of a storybook! Think timbered houses that line cobblestone streets, narrow pathways that never lost their Medieval appeal, and a calm atmosphere amidst all the hustle and bustle. You can point your camera phone on any random part of the neighborhood and you'll still come out with a striking Instagram-worthy image. And you can guarantee that it will garner a lot of likes when you post it!

Augustinergasse
Since you're already in Altstadt, you simply must go to Augustinergasse while you're here. This famous lane, with its series of colorful timbered houses and many Swiss flags hung about, is definitely among the most eye-catching parts of the 'Old Town.' It's an inner-city zone where all you'll see are
foodie hotspots and charming cafes as far as the eye can see. While most people go here to hang out, relax, and enjoy a meal or two, you'll want to grab your phone and snap as many shots as possible. You won't run out of stellar Instagrammable shots here, that's for sure!

Lindenhof
To the west of Lindenhof, right by the left bank of the Limmat River, Lindenhof offers a charming retreat from the rest of the city. As the industrial hub of Switzerland, you can expect a lot of hustle and bustle here in Zürich. So much so that even when you planned
a whole day of sightseeing, it can still feel overwhelming. Lindenhof is the best place to take a load off and take it slow. And while you're at it, head straight to the famous Hedwig fountain for a dreamy Instagram shot that your followers will definitely like! The actual fountain alone grabs attention, but the scenic background takes it to another level!

Münsterbrücke Bridge
If you follow
travel inspo Instagram accounts, you've probably seen Münsterbrücke Bridge on Instagram about a hundred times, haven't you? One of the most famous spots in all of Zürich, you can probably say that it's an iconic place. So since you've already seen it posted on social media, why should you bother going here? Because the real thing is far more incredible. Münsterbrücke Bridge has a cinematic appeal to it that entrances any visitor lucky enough to see it in real life. In fact, just seeing it from afar is already quite the vision!

Bahnhofstrasse
For most locals, Bahnhofstrasse is simply another stop for
public transport. Since it's a central tram station, most commuters are too focused on waiting for the next tram, especially during the day. But come nightfall, however, when the Bahnhofstrasse lights up, it becomes a sparkling wonderland worth capturing for Instagram. Thanks to the many fairy lights that are hung all throughout the area, making it look like it's Christmas all year round here, Bahnhofstrasse commonly looks like such a magical place at night. Even the most frantic commuters will notice its sparkle when they're rushing to get to their destinations!

Gerold Cuchi
Although Gerold Cuchi is a great restaurant, their delicious food isn't exactly what makes this place so popular. It's the street outside the foodie hotspot that most visitors capture and post on Instagram. The colorful umbrellas that provide shade for the Gerold Cuchi outdoor tables will grab your followers' attention in a heartbeat. When they see this image on your feed, expect that they'll either like the post or ask you where that place is. Either way, it will create a lot of traffic for your timeline and, of course, give you plenty of likes. What's not to love?

Lake Zürich
Lake Zürich is so idyllic. Even though it's a good distance away from the rest of the city, all your efforts to get here, or rather, to sail here will not be in vain. Especially not when you wake that Instagram-worthy shot and you see just how beautiful the place is. The calm waters and the gentle atmosphere are already enchanting, but the small glimmer of Altstadt and the Swiss mountain in the background make it even more breathtaking. It's also so peaceful here that you'll want to take your phone down and just relax.

Uetliberg
Speaking of the Swiss mountains, one that's located right here in Zürich is Uetliberg. Now, the mountain on its own, even from afar, is definitely Instagram-worthy. However, what you'll see when you climb up Uetliberg is even better! On the higher peaks of this scenic mountain, you can capture a singular image that encompasses everything that makes Zürich such a beautiful city. Everything is there, from the historic Old Town district to Lake Zürich and more! Who knows? If you squint hard enough, you might even catch your
luxury home here too!
