Bellevueplatz ("Bellevue Square", from the French bellevue, meaning "beautiful sight") is a town square in Zurich, Switzerland built in 1856. Named after the former Grandhotel Bellevue on its north side, it is one of the nodal points for roads and public transportation in Zurich, as well as an extension of the quaysides in Zurich that were built between 1881 and 1887.[1] It is part of the Altstadt district (Kreis 1).
