Why go
Founded in 1834, the university became a lasting part of the capital’s civic life. Its 1903 main building on Hochschulstrasse gives that story a visible landmark above the city, with a domed auditorium inside. It suits a brief detour if you are already around the station or Länggasse.
What to look for
- The main building dates from 1903.
- Its elevated position sets it apart from the lower Old City streets.
- A domed auditorium is part of the building’s interior.
Useful to know
- View the main building from outside on a station or Länggasse walk.
- Check university visitor information before expecting to enter the auditorium.
