With over 70000m2 of space, and a short walk from the lakeside this is Zurich’s largest landscaped garden which was developed in 1855, at the same time as the adjoining Rietberg Museum.
There are many old trees, including original beeches which are over 150 years old. There are two playgrounds as well as lots of open space and benches for peaceful strolls and picnics with views of the Alps.
