Weinplatz square, whose name means wine square, is one of the liveliest areas in Zurich's historic center. In this image, people are seen sitting on benches enjoying the view of the Limmat River and old town. In the background stands the bell tower of St. Peter's Church with its famous clock, while historic buildings with colorful facades frame the scene. The square, once home to the wine market, is now a popular meeting point for both residents and tourists. The decorative lampposts and wide pedestrian space testify to the care with which Zurich preserves and enhances its historic public spaces.
