Bahnhofstrasse is Zurich's main downtown street and one of the world's most expensive and exclusive shopping avenues. In 2011, a study named the Bahnhofstrasse the most expensive street for retail property in Europe, and the third most expensive worldwide.〔(Bahnhofstrasse rents at record high ) swissinfo.ch. Retrieved on 2012-02-07〕 It came into existence when the city fortifications were demolished in 1864 and the ditch in front of the walls was filled in. Until that time, the name of the location had been "Ditch Of The Frogs" (Fröschengraben), which then was changed ''Station Street'' (Bahnhofstrasse). Bahnhofstrasse (''Station Street'') starts at Bahnhofplatz in front of the Zürich Hauptbahnhof (), passing Rennweg, Augustinergasse and Paradeplatz before it ends after 1.4 km at Bürkliplatz () on Lake Zurich (National Bank), (Hotel Baur au Lac). The street is largely pedestrianised, but is also an important link in the Zürich tram network. North of Paradeplatz the street carries routes 6, 7, 11 and 13, whilst to the south it carries 2, 8, 9 and 11. Stops are served at Hauptbahnhof, Rennweg, Paradeplatz, Börsenstrasse and Bürkliplatz. Some of the many shops include: * Ambassadour House * Apple Store * Blancpain * Breguet * Burberry * Bvlgari * Cartier * Chanel * Dior * Ermenegildo Zegna * Franz Carl Weber * Giorgio Armani * Globus * Gucci * Hackett London * Hermès * H&M * Jelmoli * Louis Vuitton * Manor * Mont Blanc * Prada * Salvatore Ferragamo * Tiffany and Co. * Tommy Hilfiger * Trois Pommes Paradeplatz, one of the most famous squares in Switzerland, is situated towards the end of the Bahnhofstrasse closest to Lake Zurich. The two biggest Swiss banks, UBS and the Credit Suisse Group, have their headquarters there. Paradeplatz is also known for its chocolate shop and cafe, Confiserie Sprüngli. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bahnhofstrasse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
