Mr. Whiskey
★★★★★3 years agoAn impressive statue with a little pool under it. At the time I was visiting there was a ferry wheel which I definitely suggest you to have a ride. Quite cheap with a great view both on city side and lake side

★★★★★a year agoThe Arnold Geiser Fountain at Bürkliplatz is a stunning piece of art and history! This impressive bronze sculpture, featuring a powerful bull being tamed, sits proudly by Lake Zurich with the Alps in the distance. Dedicated to the city architect Arnold Geiser, it’s a testament to Zurich’s rich heritage. The craftsmanship by Jakob Brüllmann is remarkable, and the fountain’s location makes it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the lakefront vibe. Visited on a sunny March day—couldn’t ask for a better backdrop for photos! A must-see for anyone in Zurich.
