Giacometti Hall at the Zurich Police Station. Picture courtesy of Zurich.com. No other police station in the world has a hallway as artistic and stunning like this.
Zurich Police Station on Bahnhofquai.
You read it right. The beautiful work of art by Swiss artist, Augusto Giacometti can be found at the city police station (stadtpolizei) of Zurich on Bahnhofquai. It is open daily between 9:00-11:00 and 14:00-16:00. You will need to leave a valid ID such as a passport at the front desk of the police station before being allowed to enter and view the hall inside. One valid ID for a group is good enough. You are only allowed to view the hall for 10 minutes. The taking pictures and/or videos is strictly prohibited.

Anyway, the story here is that the ladies found the young police officer attending to us really cute. We took turns pronouncing his name which made him blush a bit. You see, the police officers here on duty have their ID with their name on it pinned on their breast. He was somewhat caught off guard with all attention he is getting from three middle aged Asian women, haha. Right, the cougars are on flirting attack.
“Are you single?”
Bubbles was like, “Can’t he just take us in?”
“Oh please keep our passports. We are willing to surrender!”
“We will surrender.... like now.” LOL
To protect the innocent, we shall not name the hunky police officer =)
Our 10 minutes was quickly up unfortunately. So we went outside the police station and did our selfie thing right in front of the main door. Ah, here outside we can take as many selfie pictures we can. I am sure the police officers must have seen us behind the camera and are shaking their heads =)
Really stunning hall with vaulted arches painted with bright red orange flowers. This has got to be the most beautiful police station hallway in the whole wide world.
Thanks to the selfie stick!
