Water fountains in Zurich
379
free public drinking fountains mapped within a 2.2 km walk of the centre. They run continuously, cost nothing, and the water is the same supply as the tap.
Tap water in Zurich is safe to drink, and the fountains carry the same supply. See why
Map of every fountain in the centre

Is it safe to drink from them?
Fountain water is the same supply as the tap, so the answer is whatever the answer is for Zurich's tap water. That is a question with published figures behind it rather than an opinion.
How far from the landmarks
Straight-line distance from each landmark to the nearest mapped fountain, measured rather than estimated. Walking takes longer than the number suggests.

The ones worth stopping at
Most of these fountains are anonymous street taps and there is nothing to say about them. A few are not: these are the ones OpenStreetMap links to a catalogued record, so the description and the photograph both come from somewhere checkable.
Fountains with something to note
Most of the 379 are anonymous street taps and a list of them would be the same line many times over, so they stay on the map. These are the ones with a name, a bottle-filling spout, or step-free access.

Fountain locations come from OpenStreetMap contributors, refreshed 1 September 2026. A fountain that is mapped is not guaranteed to be running: they are turned off for repairs, and in some cities over winter.
