Zurich, Switzerland｜A Spring Stroll Beneath Sakura Streets

#cherryblossom25 Zurich isn’t just about lakes and luxury — in early April, it also becomes a quiet sakura haven. One of the most charming yet underrated cherry blossom spots is along Rieterpark and the nearby Enzenbühlstrasse, where rows of cherry trees burst into delicate pink, lining peaceful residential streets. Here, there are no crowds, no rush — just locals walking their dogs or sipping coffee beneath pink canopies. The soft petals create a dreamy contrast against the classic Swiss facades, making this a perfect spring postcard scene. Top spots: • Enzenbühlstrasse: A peaceful residential road with cherry trees arching overhead. • Rieterpark: Zurich’s largest landscaped park with cherry trees scattered along sloping lawns and city views. • University of Zurich Botanical Garden: Also has a small sakura grove, perfect for a quiet walk. When to go: Early to mid-April Getting there: • Enzenbühlstrasse: Take tram line 11 or 15 to “Burgwies” station. • Rieterpark: Take tram line 7 or 13 to “Museum Rietberg.” • Botanical Garden: Tram 5/6 to “Botanischer Garten.” Tip: Visit on weekday mornings for photos with no one around, and wear soft colors to match the blossoms.
