Most of the street is available only to pedestrians. It also hosts important tram lines, specifically lines 6, 7, 11 and 13 in the north section and 2, 8, 9 and 11 in the south.

On the main street shoppers can find famous brands such as H&M, Louis Vuitton or Manor.

Towards the northern section of the street visitors can find the Pestalozzi-Anlage mini-park, which hosts the statue of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, a Swiss pedagogue.
