Limmatquai

The Limmatquai was built along the right side of the Limmat, running from Central to Bellevue. It was built in the 19th century, connecting various earlier quais built into the Limmat. The current right bank is some 28 m west of the medieval river's. The quai was constructed from 1823-1859 from Bellevue to the Rathaus, in 1835-1836 from the Rathaus to the Wasserkirche and 1835-1839 the portion from the Wasserkirche to Bellevue, formerly called Sonnenquai. At the Limmatquai are located some guild houses, as Zunfthaus zur Zimmerleuten, Zunfthaus zur Haue, Zunfthaus zum Rüden and Zunfthaus zur Saffran. Trams 4 and 15 run along the Limmatquai, serving the stops Helmhaus, Rathaus and Rudolf-Brun-Brücke. The quai was one of the main routes through the old town before it was freed from traffic in 2004. The bridges passed by the Limmatquai, south to north, are:

• Quaibrücke, connecting Bellevue and Bürkliplatz,
• Münsterbrücke between Grossmünster and Fraumünster,
• Rathausbrücke just north of the town hall,
• Rudolf-Brun-Brücke, between Mühlegasse and Uraniastrasse,
• the Mühlesteg footbridge
• Bahnhofbrücke, between Central and Zürich Hauptbahnhof.

north of Limmatquai:

• Walche-Brücke
• the Drahtschmidlisteg footbridge to Platzspitz
