Have a beer or a prosecco and enjoy Zurich from above!

This street (long street in english) connects district 4 and 5. The beginning of it is in walking distance from Idaplatz directly at Badenerstrasse. The old red light district (still is but much more gentrificated and upvalued) now is a very lively (7 days a week) street with several bars, clubs, cafes, restaurants. There you will meet everyone from old hookers to native locals. Even if it gets loud the street is safe, just use the main street.
