Zürich Stadelhofen

Zürich Stadelhofen is a part of the city of Zürich and also an important railway station.

It lies close to the Zürich Opera House and near Bellevue Square in Zürich.

Geographically, Stadelhofen is on the southeastern part of Zürich and is close to Lake Zürich, on the eastern (northern) shore.

Stadelhofen station is a nodal point where many trains of the Zürich S-Bahn and the Forchbahn interconnect.

Train connections to Stadelhofen from the main station are very frequent, and the ride takes only two minutes.

From Stadelhofen, trains leaving for the main station, Dübendorf and Rapperswil separate in different directions. The Forchbahn runs via Forch to Esslingen.

Trams and busses connect Stadelhofen to areas both inside and outside of the city of Zürich.

In the 1990s the train station was rebuilt by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. The station building from 1894 was preserved. The surroundings were completely redone in a fancy twist of modern art, thus forming a striking combination of the new and the old.
