Paradeplatz is a square at the Bahnhofstrasse in downtown Zürich, Switzerland. It is one of the most expensive pieces of real estate in Switzerland and has become synonymous with wealth and the Swiss banks, being the location of the headquarters of both UBS and Credit Suisse.
The site of the square lay without the medieval city walls, and was incorporated into the town with the construction of the new ramparts in 1642. During the 17th century, it served as a livestock market, known as Säumärt , renamed to Neumarkt in 1819 and finally to its current name following the construction of Bahnhofstrasse . The hotel Baur en Ville on the eastern end of the square opened in 1838. Paradeplatz was the scene of clashes between insurgents and cantonal troops during the 1839 Züriputsch.
