The imposing building of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) was built in 1864 according to plans by Gottfried Semper. Fifty years later, the University of Zurich (UZH) was built right next door, a no less impressive building, which today sees over 30,000 students and staff.
The viewing terrace in front of the ETH main building – called the Polyterrasse – can be reached from Central station in just 2.5 minutes by the Polybahn funicular.
