2025 Regensdorf Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)

There are two villages with the same name. I write about the one that belongs to Regensdorf. There is not so much exciting to talk about but it is still worth mentioning. It used to be a farmers’village and there are still some century old traditional farm houses (photo 2 & 3). Getting There - by car or bus 485 and 456 from Regensdorf railway station Attractions - 1. Old town house which was built in 1893 and nowadays can be rented for your private party. 2. hiking: get off bus 485 at Adlikon-Paechterried station walk backwards and turn right to walk along the tiny Furtbach creek (photo 8 & 6) until you reach the street. Have a drink or snack at the Furtbaechli Restaurant (photo 9) or shop some groceries at the supermarket. From there take bus 456 back or walk on the other side of the creek, cross the bridge and walk along the creek (photo 7) and the back to the initial bus stop. Walking time 20 to 30 minutes. There are other nice hikes on the hill. Hotels - Thessoni next to Regensdorf railway station Food & Restaurants - 1. Furtbaechli with an outdoor terrace is a high quality restaurant 2. Palazzetto (Italian food) Shopping - Warenmarkt outlet shop where you find things that other places don’t have! #passionpassport

Today is a rainy day and the sky is grey. So what to do? I decided to go to this nearby mall. It is a ten minutes ride by bicycle or car. The parking lot is free for one hour. In the mall there are two big quality supermarkets with a fresh meat and cheese section and a discounter. There is also a post office and a bank, two pharmacies and a drugstore and several clothing and shoe stores and even a pet shop and parfumerie.

There are many kinds of food. Most popular are Italian, Chinese, French and of course Thai food which is very popular in Switzerland. It is not spicy 🌶 but they have jars with chili to add! The prices are reasonable and the choice is quite good👍 . I went for a yellow Thai chicken curry with Jasmin rice (photo 2)which was yummy and my wife’s choice was duck breast with vegetables and noodles (photo 3) which she also liked😋. Everything is prepared freshly in the wok and ready in a few minutes. There are about 10 restaurants and takeaways in the Zürich area. We went to the one in Regensdorf but there are others in Zürich downtown mostly close to railway stations How to get there: by S6 to Regensdorf station then by bus 485 or 491. #foodie

This lake is my very favourite in all over the world because it is close to my home (only 12 minutes by bicycle which is by far the best way to go there. In Summer there is a free swimming area. Where else in the world you would get this? I have been coming here since my youth. Every season there is just beautiful even in winter with snow or ice. Officially open from 9 to 21:00 but actually it is open 24/7 What about a full moon evening? I come here almost every day in summer in the early morning but avoid weekends since it is overcrowded. Getting There - by bus 61 to Muehlacker terminal station, then 10 minutes walking by car: there is. paid parking lot on Wehntalerstrasse best by bicycle or walking Attractions - Children‘s playground (photo 5) Grill place (photo 6) 1 hour’s walk around the lake (photo 8) Hotels - Boutique Hotel Thessoni 1.8km from the lake Food & Restaurants - Restaurant Waldhaus Katzensee (Photo 9) Kiosk on Site with salads, sandwiches, burgers (photo 4) #summervacation #tripblazers #switzerland
