From Lindenhof park, Zurich's most famous viewpoint, one enjoys this spectacular night view over the old town. The Limmat River crosses the scene reflecting the lights of historic buildings overlooking its banks. In the distance, the bell towers of churches characterizing the Zurich skyline can be recognized, including the green spire of Fraumunster. The city lights create a magical atmosphere, while the hills in the background define the urban horizon. Lindenhof, where a Roman and later Carolingian castle once stood, has offered this privileged observation point over the city below for centuries.
