This live camera looks out over Zurich-Ouest, the western part of Switzerland's largest city. It is a useful way to check how the city looks and what the sky is doing before you head out. The page also shows local time and the weather for the area.

About the western side of Zurich

Zurich sits at the north end of Lake Zurich, surrounded by low hills and the Alps visible to the south on clear days. Zurich-Ouest, the western district, combines former industrial areas, which have been converted into offices, cultural venues and housing, with quieter residential streets. The river Limmat and the lake give the city its distinctive character, and the old town lies not far to the east.

What to watch and when

The view is most interesting in the morning and late afternoon, when light is low and rooftops and streets stand out clearly. Depending on the angle, you may notice commuter traffic at rush hour, changing cloud over the hills, and seasonal shifts in foliage. Clear winter days often give the sharpest view toward the surrounding high ground.

Climate and getting around

Zurich has a temperate climate with warm summers, cool winters and rain spread through the year. May to September is the most pleasant period for walking and boating on the lake. For nearby views, you can compare this picture with Zurich - Stadthaus, Zurich - Siège NZZ, Zürich - Gebäude des SRF, and Uetliberg - Uto Kulm, which sits on the hill above the city.
