From Wikipedia: "Zürich Hauptbahnhof (often shortened to Zürich HB) (English: Zurich Central Station or Zurich Main Station) is the largest railway station in Zurich and also in Switzerland. Zurich is a major railway hub, with services to and from across Switzerland and neighbouring European countries such as Germany, Italy, Austria and France. Constructed initially as the terminus of the Spanisch Brötli Bahn, which was the first railway built completely within Switzerland, it is one of the oldest railway stations in Switzerland. Serving up to 2'915 train rides a day, Zurich Main Station is one of the busiest railway stations in the world.
It is located in the Altstadt or old town in central Zurich at the confluence of the rivers Limmat and Sihl, where the river Sihl passes the station in a tunnel between the tracks of the upper and the lower level. The track system of the station extends about 4 km (2.5 mi) to the west.
The station is inscribed on the Swiss Inventory of Cultural Property of National Significance."
