Bahnhofsareal
The area around the Central Train Station, also known as the Bahnhofsareal, is dominated by a number of big hotels. And the station itself is rapidly becoming a completely service-orientated building, with restaurants and shops opening up all the time. Many of the locals make use of the extended opening hours to do some post-work shopping. For coffee and cake, Confiserie Frey and Confiserie Bachmann cafes on the square in front of the train station are noteworthy and a visit to either will soon make it clear why Swiss chocolate is famous throughout the world.
