Zurich Spring Blossoms.

As spring blossoms in Zurich, the city comes alive. In the first days of the season, photographer Tanya Ayra captured its charming streets and scenic landscapes.

Spring is finally here and where better to celebrate than Zurich, with its charming streets and scenic landscapes. The air comes alive with the smell of sweet blossoms. Lose yourself in the quaint cobblestone lanes of the Old Town, where historic buildings and cosy cafés await around every corner, as the days grow longer and brighter.

Friend of Locke and photographer Tanya Ayra takes us around some of the best spots in Zurich to capture the city's spring blossoms.

Zentralstrasse

One of Zurich’s long roads filled with shops, cafes and bars is Zentalstrasse. Here you’ll find blossoms in the form of ornamental cherry.

Idaplatz

A lovely spot to relax and take in some crisp spring sun. The evening sees locals descend on the square for drinks or to play some pétanque on the square.

Zurlindenstrasse

Another place you’ll find ornamental cherry blossoms lining the streets.

Bertastrasse

Here you’ll find cherry plum blossoms lining the streets, wander or take a cycle down the street stopping to take in the sights.
