                              	Zurich is the largest city of the [wiki=3ad08396dc5afa78f34f548eea3c1d64]Swiss Confederation (Switzerland)[/wiki] by land area and population. It is the financial centre of Switzerland and houses the stock exchange and the headquarters of a large number of national and international companies, and also home of FIFA's headquarter. German Swiss national and international media agencies as well as the German Swiss national TV channel company are also located here. Its two major universities, ETH Zürich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, 21 Nobel Prize laureats) and University of Zurich (12 Nobel Prize laureats) are listed among world's 15, or 50, respectively, best universities. You also find Google's world-wide second largest development center in Zurich. Because Zurich is the central node of the Swiss-wide train network and also runs the biggest and busiest international airport in the country, it generally is the first place where tourists arrive. Because of the city's close distance to tourist resorts in the Swiss Alps and its mountainous scenery, it is often referred to as the "portal to the Alps".

Contrary to a generally wrongly made assumption, Zurich is not the capital of Switzerland -- the Swiss are very much a confederation of Cantons and avoid naming any one city as capital in order to prevent that Canton from seeming more important than the others. Still, the federal government is headquartered in [wiki=cb1f000aef470f81d61a7fb262bea543]Berne[/wiki] and not Zurich. Zurich has long been known for being clean and efficient. Due to this, it has been continuously ranked as the city with the highest living standard world-wide for many years. However, only for the last fifteen years it has truly become a fascinating and worthwhile travel destination. This is mostly thanks to the liberalization of the party (more than 80 clubs are open at weekends) and gastronomy sectors (over 500 bars and more than 1500 restaurants). An increasingly cosmopolitan population has helped (every third inhabitant is a foreigner), as well, though more button-down [wiki=3f6765c843a517aa042ae011230aa976]Geneva[/wiki] remains Switzerland's most culturally heterogeneous city. Zurich always used to be well known for a demanding audience in opera/ballet, classical concerts, and theater. You find more than 50 museums and over 100 galleries in a inner city circle. Traditionally, the majority of all 59 movie showrooms show a diversity of international and arthouse cinema productions mostly shown in their original languages with German and French subtitles.

The official language is (the Swiss variety of) Standard German [[Swiss Standard German],|used in all official publications and announcements, or in any formal writing, and practically everyone can speak it, but the native spoken language of the masses is Swiss German [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_German]]. The most common dialect is called Züridüütsch (Zürich German), though quite mixed up with any of the many Swiss German dialects, because of Zurich's central importance and hence its high fluctuation. English and French are also quite widely spoken and often used in official publications and announcements alongside German. Any of these languages will do easily. Note that it is often wise to speak Standard German rather than attempting to speak Swiss German; some people may think you are trying to make fun of their language.

The airport is actually part of the municipality of [[Kloten[/url]] and a brief 12 minutes train ride from central Zurich. Trains run every few up to 12 minutes. Early in the morning and late at evenings trains run a bit less frequent, so if you travel at these times check the schedules here [url=http://www.zvv.ch/en/]](ZVV: Zurich's city and suburban public transport system), or here [url=http://fahrplan.sbb.ch/bin/query.exe/en[/url]](the Swiss country-wide integrated ticket and public transport system by the Swiss Federal Railways SBB-CFF-FFS).

The railway station is to be found at the lowest underground Level -2 of the adjacent airport shopping center just accross the street of the arrival gates ([url=http://www.zurich-airport.com/passengers-and-visitors/airport-services-en/site-plans[/url][url=http://www.zurich-airport.com/~/media/FlughafenZH/Dokumente/Uebersichtsplaene/Check-in-12.pdf][url=http://www.zurich-airport.com/~/media/FlughafenZH/Dokumente/Uebersichtsplaene/Airport-Center.pdf]).]A]single]ticket to Zürich Hauptbahnhof (central railway station in Zurich, on timetables usually listed as: Zürich HB) costs CHF 6.60 for 2nd class (full fare) and is valid for 1 hour, a return ticket costs CHF 13.20 and is valid from the airport to the city and within the city for 24 hours. Kids under 16 pay the half fare, kids under 6 travel for free if accompanied by an adult. There are also reduced multi-day tickets for youth under 25 at the SBB ticket booth.

You can board any kind of train, since the ticket is valid for ANY kind of public transport (including SBB-CFF-FFS trains, S-Bahn (suburban trains), tram, bus, boat and cable cars) within on the ticket indicated areas, the so-called fare zones [url=http://www.zvv.ch/en/routes-and-zones/fare-zone-plan.html[/url[/url[/url]:]zone 121 for Zurich Airport and Kloten's environment, and zone 110 for Zurich City for the ticket from the airport to the city. Be aware that the zones 110 for Zurich City and 120 for Winterthur count double in price calculations.

Also take into consideration ZVV's special tourist offer ZurichCARD [url=http://www.zvv.ch/en/tickets/tickets-and-prices/zuerich-card.html[/url],]a ticket valid, either for 24, or for 72 hours, for the whole area of Zurich city and its adjacent zones [url=http://www.zvv.ch/opencms/export/sites/default/common-images/content-image-gallery/tickets-pdfs/Plan_Geltungsbereich_ZuerichCARD_2013.pdf[/url],]including free access to all Zurich museums, either for CHF 24.-, or CHF 48.-. Though, no half-fare discounts are avilable for them.

Make sure that you have a valid ticket before you board the train, or whatever vehicle, and that the ticket is valid for the respective class, either 1st or 2nd class, if you travel by train; indicated by large big number 1 or 2 on the coaches' exteriour, 1st class is also indicated by a yellow stripe along the 1st class seats outside the coaches. Fines for travelling without any ticket, or a wrong ticket, even for the wrong class, can be hefty (around CHF 100.-)!

There is also a tram (tramway/streetcar) line No. 10 (colored pink) running between the airport and the city centre, a 37 minutes ride to Zurich HB, valid with the same ticket (only 2nd class necessary), though eventually gives you a better first insight into Zurich [url=http://www.zvv.ch/en/routes-and-zones/city-zurich.html[/url]]and its adjacent suburban area, since running exclusively above ground and through the streets of the communities. Several bus lines connect to the airport and provide access to the suburban area [url=http://www.zvv.ch/en/routes-and-zones/zvv-network-plan.html[/url]]as well as the [[Winterthur[/url]] region [http://www.zvv.ch/en/routes-and-zones/city-winterthur.html].

The bus terminal and the tram(way) stop are to be found at ground level south of the airport shopping center at Level 1, the top most level of the shopping center [http://www.zurich-airport.com/~/media/FlughafenZH/Dokumente/Uebersichtsplaene/Airport-Center.pdf][http://www.zurich-airport.com/~/media/FlughafenZH/Dokumente/Uebersichtsplaene/Anfahrt-Flughafen-Zuerich-en.pdf].

Most major airlines fly to Zurich, but SWISS International Airlines aka SWISS [url=http://www.swiss.com]]is still the Swiss flag carrier and covers the biggest part of the international traffic at the airport. Almost every large hotel in Zurich provides shuttle buses from the airport to your hotel. The stops for these hotel buses are a short walk to the right from the arrival 1 in the direction of arrival 2 on the same Level 0 [http://www.zurich-airport.com/~/media/FlughafenZH/Dokumente/Uebersichtsplaene/Anfahrt-Flughafen-Zuerich-en.pdf[/url].

Zurich Airport has high passenger costs due to several noise reduction and approach restrictions. Most no-frill airlines fly to EuroAirport [wiki=aea93afdf4bee7f4b52526ee5f040cea]Basel[/wiki] which is 1 1/2 hour away by train and Basel airport bus. EasyJet resumed its flights to Zurich in 2007 after a three year absence and Air Berlin offers several flights to Germany and Southern Europe.

If you are travelling without a Schengen Visa to another destination in Europe (via Zurich airport) and if you are not European citizen, you must not stay in Europe for longer than 90 days - even if your final destination would allow citizens of your country to stay for more than 90 days. Failure to do so will lead to very high fines (around 8100 Euros) should you try to leave Europe via Zurich airport.
By trainRegular trains to and from other Swiss and European cities leave from and arrive at Hauptbahnhof (HB), the main railway station, conveniently located in the city centre at the beginning of Bahnhofstrasse, with easy access to mass transit (map: [url=http://www.sbb.ch/content/dam/infrastruktur/trafimage/bahnhofplaene/plan-zuerich-hb-a4.pdf]).]The Zurich Hauptbahnhof is served by suburban (S-Bahn), regional (RE) and long-distance trains (IR, IC and ICN) with connections throughout Switzerland, Germany's ICE, France's TGV, and various other direct (night) train services to/from as far as Amsterdam, Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt, Cologne, Dusseldorf, Essen, Hanover, Munich, Stuttgart, Rome, Lecce, Milano, Paris, Barcelona, Salzburg, Linz, Vienna, Budapest, Zagreb, and Beograd.

Zurich's Main Station is an extremly high busy passenger node. There are between 350,000 to 500,000 commuters daily taking usage of this central network node. Put this into relation to Zurich's amount of inhabitants: around 400,000. Regarding the amount of trains daily entering and leaving a single railway station, Zürich's Hauptbahnhof is the world's most frequent railway station: 2915 trains every day!

For train time tables and tickets (see [[Switzerland#Public_transport|Switzerland's public transport hints[/url]]), visit the SBB-CFF-FFS [url=http://fahrplan.sbb.ch/bin/query.exe/en]]website, although it would sometimes be advisable to book international journeys online through the respective websites by the operating railways (e.g.: France's TGV Lyria [url=http://www.tgv-lyria.com/[/url],]Germany's DB [url=http://www.bahn.de/i/view/GBR/en/index.shtml[/url],]Austria's ÖBB [url=http://www.oebb.at/en/index.jsp[/url],]Italy's Trenitalia [url=http://www.trenitalia.com[/url]),]especially regarding pre-booking deduction possibilities. If you are already in Europe, your local railway station office should usually be able to book these trains. A rail pass may make your trip cheaper.

The SBB railway station and the connecting underground mall RailCity Zürich [url=http://www.sbb.ch/en/station-services/am-bahnhof/railway-stations/shopville-railcity-zuerich.html[/url]]has shops, restaurants, and grocery stores, which locals use when they need to do Sunday shopping, as it is not subject to the closing hours laws otherwise in force in Switzerland. It also hosts a Christmas market around Christmas times.

Among the 16 railway stations (and 10 additional stops) within Zurich's city borders, there are other five major passenger railway stations. Three of them belong to the five most frequented railway stations in Switzerland.

Zürich Oerlikon [url=http://www.sbb.ch/content/dam/infrastruktur/trafimage/bahnhofplaene/plan-zuerich-oerlikon-a4.pdf[/url],]in the north from the center, connecting an old industrial quarter turned into an evolving business center around the station and Zurich's fastest growing business and living quarter Zürich Nord/Stettbach north of it and midway on the way to the airport. Trains from/to the airport, the northern suburbs, Winterthur, St. Gallen, Schaffhausen/Rhine Falls, Stuttgart, Munich, Salzburg and Vienna run through this heavy commuter railway station. The direct InterCity trains Zurich Airport - Basel (does not serve Zurich HB) and Zurich Airport - Luzern (stops in Zurich HB) stop here as well.

Zürich Stadelhofen [url=http://www.sbb.ch/en/station-services/am-bahnhof/railway-stations/further-stations/zuerich-stadelhofen.html[/url][url=http://www.sbb.ch/content/dam/infrastruktur/trafimage/bahnhofplaene/plan-zuerich-stadelhofen-a4.pdf],]just]squeezed between two tunnel ends, is Switzerland's third most frequented railway station (135,000 commuters per day), though it has only three tracks. It had been rebuilt 1991 by star architect Santiago Calatrava along with the introduction of Zurich's S-Bahn network. Nowadays, it is already again a bottle neck with up to 40 trains per hour serving mainly S-Bahn lines for a fast connection with [[Winterthur[/url[/url]] and Zurich's Oberland, as well as for the S-Bahn connection with the lines at the Lake Zurich's east shore up to [wiki=1d467f9b84502170b603ce7112c9658e]Rapperswil[/wiki]. Its central location just next to Bellevue, the opera and the lake does not make it less important for both, the working people, as well as the culture/fun commuters. In its underground you also find a small mall.

Zürich Hardbrücke, looks more like a people underpass, because it is located exactely below the Hardbrücke, a street bridge connecting Kreis 3 and Kreis 4, otherwise by many train tracks seperated quarters, is another bottle neck in Zurich's S-Bahn network. Just next to Switzerland's tallest building and again a commuter's culmination point just about 4 km west of Zurich HB. During the day it serves the evolving business quarter of the 1990ies, at evenings and especially at weekends, Zurich's most pulsating party area.

Zürich Altstetten [url=http://www.sbb.ch/content/dam/infrastruktur/trafimage/bahnhofplaene/plan-zuerich-altstetten-a4.pdf]]in the west of Zurich, serves an old blue collar quarter Altstetten, which already turned itself also into a more lively white collar business center during working hours, is also on the capillary route to Bern - Lausanne - Geneva, Basel - Paris/Frankfurt/Hamburg/Berlin/Amsterdam, and Biel-Bienne/Neuchâtel (Swiss Jura).

Zürich Enge [http://www.sbb.ch/content/dam/infrastruktur/trafimage/bahnhofplaene/plan-zuerich-enge-a4.pdf[/url] at the Tessinerplatz in the south, west of Lake Zurich's shore, impresses with its old building from 1927 made of Ticino's granite and serves only S-Bahn commuters mainly from Lake Zurich's west shore, but is on the major route to Chur/Davos/St. Moritz (Grisons/Graubünden), Salzburg - Linz - Vienna - Budapest/Beograd, Luzern, Arth-Goldau - St. Gotthard - Ticino (Bellinzona, Lugano) - Milano. It also provides a small 365-day shop.

The other railway stations within city borders are called (clockwise from south-west to south-east): Wollishofen (S8, S24), Leimbach (S4), Giesshübel (S4), Wiedikon (several S-Bahnen), Selnau (the underground, below the Sihl river station of the S4 and S10), Affoltern (S6), Seebach (S6), Wipkingen (several S-Bahnen), Stettbach (several S-Bahnen), and Tiefenbrunnen (S6, S16).

The four stops within city borders of the S10 up to the Üetliberg: Bienz, Friesenberg, Schweighof, and Triemli (one of the city hospitals). The three additional stops (within city border) of the S4 into the Shiltal (valley): Saalsporthalle, Brunau, and Manegg. The three stops of the Forchbahn S18 shared with the Tram No. 11 (within city border): Hegibachplatz, Balgrist (several hospitals), and Rehalp, besides its starting point Stadelhofen.
By carAlmost every highway in Switzerland leads straight into Zurich. This might be quite easy for tourists, but is also really painful if you have to cross Zurich on a daily basis.
By busLong distance coach services (Swiss Standard German term: Car) normally end at the coach terminal next to the main railway station, where the river Sihl flows into the river Limmat.

Note: Do not confuse the blue/white ZVV buses, which are part of the local public transport system ZVV, with long distance coaches, mainly used by extreme low-cost travellers to and from traditional blue color countries.

Many coaches arrive there from other European cities, mainly southern destinations like the [wiki=f32906693647350c589348b7a799501f]Western Balkans[/wiki] or [wiki=907eba32d950bfab68227fd7ea22999b]Spain[/wiki]. There is a bi-weekly bus to [wiki=e807f25eba3e1387d1576b6de7b34416]Banja Luka[/wiki], [wiki=96a6dd711874d4323dc2d3f932bd2ed3]Bosnia and Herzegovina[/wiki] [http://www.autoprevoz.org/engleski/redvoznje.php]

(look for "Cirih").
By boatAs Zurich is located at the end of lake Zurich, it can be reached by boat from other lake villages, e.g. Rapperswil at the upper end of the lake.

                              	                              	                              		Public transportZürich is famous for its highly efficient, clean and safe public transport system, owned by the several municipal transport agencies and managed by the Zürcher Verkehrsverbund ([url=http://www.zvv.ch]ZVV[/url]), which covers the entire canton of Zürich, plus some municipalities in bordering cantons for the passenger's convenience (in fact the 18x fare zones and some stops in zone 155). The network includes trams, buses (local city/municipality buses as well as the yellow bright Swiss PostAuto buses), suburban trains (S-Bahn), regular trains (SBB), cable cars and boats. The size and complexity of the network may be daunting at first, but you will soon realize that there are dozens of ways to get from one place to another and following any of them will still be efficient. ZVV's transport system is coherently and comprehensively integrated (fare-wise and timetable-wise) into Switzerland's Federal Railways system [url=http://www.sbb.ch]SBB-CFF-FFS[/url], [url=http://www.postbus.ch]Swiss PostAuto bus network[/url], and any cities/area's local bus and tram system of the [url=http://www.zvv.ch/en/routes-and-zones/]covered area[/url].

Timetable information for any public transportation in Switzerland is available on [url=http://fahrplan.sbb.ch/bin/query.exe/en]sbb.ch[/url] or can be obtained using [url=http://www.sbb.ch/en/timetable/mobile-timetables/mobile-apps.html]SBB's free smart Phone apps[/url], which also informs you about any train's position or delay in real-time. [url=http://www.zvv.ch/en/timetables/mobile_timetable/]ZVV's own free app[/url] delivers you timetable information and real-time updates about ZVV's transport system condition and any delays. All of them require a working internet connection. The free [url=http://itunes.apple.com/ch/app/wemlin/id293648832?mt=8]Wemlin App[/url] gives you offline access to timetable information and network maps for the canton of Zurich area without internet connection and is therefore ideally for on the go usage in case you do not want to use data roaming.

The system is divided into numerous [url=http://www.zvv.ch/en/routes-and-zones/fare-zone-plan.html]fare zones[/url], with the Zurich's city centre and innermost suburbs being in zone 110 and the outer suburbs located in other zones ([wiki=50c63b22cf2b15c4da2bb678943ba400]Winterthur[/wiki] is in zone 120, for example), and the more zones you pass through, the more you will have to pay for your journey. There are single tickets, day cards, monthly cards and annual cards. The monthly and annual cards are collectively referred to as ZVV NetworkPass.

[url=http://www.zvv.ch/en/tickets/]Tickets[/url] must be purchased from a [url=http://www.zvv.ch/en/tickets/automatic-ticket-machine/index.html]ticket vending machine[/url] before boarding or from one of the ticket selling kiosks. The ticket vending machines are in German, English, French and Italian and offer almost all regular tickets available. They come along with a zone map on every machine as well as clear instructions coming to your aid, so feel free to choose! Once you have got your ticket it gives you access to all modes of transport.

If you are staying for a longer period, consider a [url=http://www.zvv.ch/en/tickets/tickets-and-prices/zvv-networkpass/index.html]monthly ZVV NetworkPass[/url], because even though there are no regular tickets valid for something between one day and a month, it takes only ten zone 110 day cards for a zone 110 monthly card to be cheaper. When travelling in all zones, it takes only eight day cards for the monthly card to be cheaper. A 24-hour ticket (marketed as a Day Pass) for zone 110 costs the same as two single rides. Be aware of that the two zones for the city of Zurich (zone 110) and for the city of Winterthur (zone 120) count double in calculating the fare!

If you do not mind starting your travels after 9:00, the [url=http://www.zvv.ch/en/tickets/tickets-and-prices/zvv-9-oclock-pass/index.html]9 o'clock-Pass[/url] is the best option. It is available as both daily, monthly and annual cards and will save you a lot of money compared to regular similarities, especially given that the 9:00 rule does not apply on weekends. It takes only 5 9 o'clock day cards for an all-zone 9 o'clock monthly card to be cheaper.

For travels between the canton of Zürich and the neighbouring cantons, you use a so-called [url=http://zpass.ch/en/zpass/index.html]Z-Pass[/url], available as daily, monthly and annual cards as well as single tickets. The Z-Pass system also has its fare zones [url=http://zpass.ch/en/zpass/zonenplaene.html],]even in the neighbouring transport regions and can be used in ZVV's covered area plus one of the neighbouring local transport regions/cantons (Aargau: A-Welle / zones 5xx, Schaffhausen: Flextax / zones 8xx, Schwyz and Zug: Schwyz-Zug / zones 6xx, St. Gallen and Thurgau; OSTWIND / zones 9xx). Z-Pass tickets and cards cannot yet be bought from the ZVV ticket vending machines.

The restriction is that you can only combine one additional transport region with ZVV. So if you are not going to one neighbouring region more frequently than the others, you are probably better off with just an appropriate ZVV card and buying an additional Z-Pass single ticket/daily card for the not covered zones of your ZVV card to your final destination's zone, which is often cheaper than buying a single ticket all the way from your departing place.

Attention: your chosen vehicle of transport must have a stop in one of your ZVV ticket's valid zones. Its last stop within your ZVV's card/ticket valid zones will then count as the point from where you have to add additional Z-Pass zones, or buy a point-to-point ticket. This does not work with with all (inter-)regional (RE, IR) or most long-distance (IC, ICN, EC) trains, which do not usually stop in one of your ZVV's card valid zones (except in Zurich HB, Zurich Airport, Winterthur, and sometimes Oerlikon and Thalwil), so you would have to buy a normal point-to-point ticket. S-Bahn and R, however, are local trains and usually stop at every station, or at worst far more often, so your chances of getting a cheaper ticket are better. Z-Pass officially claims: "The condition is that the mode of transport used stops within one of the ZVV fare zones given on the Z-Pass ticket".

* Example 1: You have an all-zones ZVV card and want to travel from Zürich HB to Aarau. If using the S-Bahn S3, which stops at all stations, you need a ticket from Dietikon (the last station in the ZVV area) to Aarau, i.e. a 7 zones Z-Pass A-Welle ticket. However, (inter-)regional (RE, IR) and long-distance (IC, ICN) trains run non-stop to Lenzburg or Aarau (both far beyond Dietikon) so you would need a ticket all the way from Zürich to Aarau: a 9 zones Z-Pass A-Welle ticket.

* Example 2: You have a valid all-zones ZVV card and want to travel from Zürich HB to Zug. If using the S-Bahn S2/S8/S24 and S21, you need a ticket from Horgen Oberdorf (the last station by S21 in the ZVV area) to Zug, i.e. a 4 zones Z-Pass Schwyz/Zug ticket. If using the InterRegio (IR) you will need a ticket from Thalwil (the last call of the IR in the ZVV area) to Zug, i.e. a 5 zones Z-Pass Schwyz/Zug ticket (this is also valid for a ZürichCard). Long-distance trains (ICN, EC) run non-stop to Zug so you will need a ticket all the way from Zürich HB: 7 zones Z-Pass Schwyz/Zug ticket.

* Example 3: You have a valid ZürichCard (valid for the zones 110, 111, 121, 140, 150, 154, 155) and you want to travel from Zurich Airport to Baden by using the the InterRegio (IR) to Basel. Then you only have to pay a ticket from Dietikon (last valid stop by this InterRegio within ZürichCard's valid zones) to Baden, resulting in the purchase of a 3 zones Z-Pass A-Welle ticket (valid for the zones 154, 184 (you get this zone for free, for convenience reasons), 572, 570). If you want to travel to Basel, then you have to buy a ticket from Dietikon to Basel.

* Example 4: Assuming you are living in Fischenthal (zone 173) and you are working in Rapperswil (zone 180) and you own therefore a monthly/annual ZVV-pass for the three zones 173, 134, 180. Now you want to travel to Schmerikon (zone 995). If you travel via Rapperswil (S-Bahn) and then change there to the regional train (R) to Schmerikon, then you only have to pay a ticket from Blumenau to Schmerikon, resulting in a 1 zone Ostwind ticket for the zone 995. However, if you want to take the buses through the hills just for fun along Wald (zone 134) and Goldingen-Egligen (zone 994) and Eschenbach (zone 995), then you have to buy a 3 zones Tarifverbund ZVV-OST ticket (valid for the zones 134, 994, 995).

For all details regarding fares, see [url=http://www.zvv.ch/en]zvv.ch/en[/url[/url]. Also, staffed service desks called Ticketeria are available at the major tram hubs, if you need assistance in choosing the right travel pass for your needs. You can also ask the personel at the ticket counters in any of the SBB-CFF-FFS railway stations within canton of Zurich as they sell ZVV tickets as well.

The Swiss Pass by [url=http://www.swisstravelsystem.com/en/home.html]Swiss Travel System[/url] is valid on all public transport in Zurich and, if you are a tourist visiting most of Switzerland, this may be your best way to saving both money and time spent trying to figure out zones, routes, and fare options. Eurail passes are valid only on the S-Bahn and boats. Interrail passes are valid on the S-Bahn (although the ZVV website claims a "reduction" for other routes for Interrail holders). Nevertheless, you may find you do not need the trams and buses if you do not mind walking around a little.
On footThe main train station, old town and the lake promenade and all nearby tourist attractions are easily walkable. You may find that you don't need transport for most of your tourist needs once you get into the city.
By skatesZürich is a very friendly town to be discovered by skates. Car drivers pay attention to skaters and you can use cycle lanes and the tramway's tracks. Pay attention to pedestrians who are more used to meet bikers instead of skaters!
By bikeYou can "rent" bikes, skateboards etc. for free from 7AM-9:20PM daily May-Oct at several places in Zurich and year-round at the central train station. All you need is your passport and a CHF 20 deposit as guarantee. This offer is called "Züri rollt" (Zürich on Wheels) [url=http://www.zuerirollt.ch].]You can get and return the bikes at several locations: the bikegate just next to the central station, next to the "Globus City" shopping centre, next to the opera, or at the Swissotel in Oerlikon. If you can't find these places, don't hesitate to ask some locals, they should know at least the bikegate at the central station. The Zurich Transit Company, VBZ also provides information about these bikes in English [http://www.vbz.ch/vbz_opencms/opencms/vbz/english/FreeBikes/[/url]. Nevertheless, you shouldn't count on it because sometimes the "rent" spots run out of bikes.
By carDriving in Zurich is possible, but it is not recommended, as the city centre is not easy to navigate by car and parking is both limited and expensive. See also [wiki=3ad08396dc5afa78f34f548eea3c1d64#By_car_2]Switzerland's recommendations for driving[/wiki].

                              	Most of the interesting sights are in the [wiki=5f3324564ed42292273783c87c2a9ff6]old town[/wiki] around the river and lakefront.

* Old Romanesque church, symbol of reformed Zurich, where reformer Huldrych Zwingli was appointed the people's priest in 1519. Go up the tower for a great view of Zurich, though the stairs can be quite small and steep. 

* Old Gothic church (former convent) with window paintings made by Marc Chagall. Free organ concert in 2015 Wednesdays 7:45-8:00 am. No photos or videos allowed inside.

* The biggest Swiss history museum. You can also learn about the various traditions of the cantons comprising Switzerland. 

* One of the major Swiss art museums. Its specialities are modern sculpturer Giacometti and the surrealist 18th Century painter Fuseli, both Swiss. Entry is free to the main collection Wednesdays.

* A small canal that used to be part of the city fortifications between Limmat and Sihl. From the main station, go to Gessnerallee, find the stairways down to the tiny creek, and walk all the way to the lake.

* One of Europe's best collections of Asian art (mainly Indian drawings).

*  Red light ateliers and stylish bars start to coexist side by side to the about 15 strip clubs.

* With the new Masoala Rainforest Hall, the Zoo is really worth a visit!

* Especially during summer, the lake is a beautiful place to spend the evening or the weekend. Starting from Bellevue, the boardwalk goes for about three kilometers along the lake towards Tiefenbrunnen. About halfway from Bellevue there is a meadow where you will find thousands of people on a sunny day.

* This small but beautiful Chinese garden was offered to the city of Zurich by the Chinese city of Kunming as symbol of gratitude after Zurich helped Kunming with technical knowledge.

* A beautiful, modern villa planned by the famous Swiss architect. The visiting hours are very limited (i.e. one day / week only in the summer) and entry is expensive. Additionally, there is a legal battle between the city (owner) and the long time tenant.

* The hill in the heart of the old town. A beautiful view of the city and one time location of a Roman fort.

* The old town offers beautiful alleys, restaurants and shopping mainly aimed at younger consumers. In the evenings, people visit the Niederdorf's many bars.

* One of the busiest and best known shopping streets in the world. Highly refined. Certainly a must-see for every tourist in Zurich! (see below).

* A rich private art collection worth visiting - although a little less rich after a recent brazen robbery in broad daylight. Call ahead, as it's currently not open during regular hours.

* An original museum which describes the evolution of coffee and different aspects of the culture that has developed around it. The museum is closed for renovation until September 2013.

* This modern quarter used to be an industrial one, but modern urban developments made it into a centre of vibrant night life. Take the tram to Dammweg and browse the Viadukt food market before wandering through the many new boutique shops under the arches of an abandoned rail viaduct, finishing up at the famous Freitag tower.

*The Beyer Watch museum is located downstairs from the very fancy (and expensive) Beyer Store on Bahnhofstrasse. It is small but fascinating. They have many watches dating back hundreds of years. Many are one-of-a-kind, beautiful examples of exquisite watch-making. Open Monday-Friday 2-6 pm.

                              	Take the Polybahn, a 19th century funicular, up the steep hill for a fine view. Starts at tram station Central and goes up to the ETH. Zone 110 ZVV ticket is valid. Nice terrace up there. During the week, the student cafeteria below the terrace is also open to the public.

* Go skiing by train - Buy a snow'n'rail ticket (train & skipass) at the Hauptbahnhof during winter months, train out in morning, back in evening. Flumserberg is the closest large ski-resort, popular with people from Zurich, with a good range of runs for beginners and experts. Retreat to the right side of the resort if the rest gets busy.

* Take a trip on the Zürichsee with one of the two old steam ships. There are a few different routes you can choose from, which will vary mainly in the distance. Or rent a small rowboat.

* Go up Üetliberg, a hill overlooking Zurich. You can hike up, or take a train from the main station. Enjoy the 360 degree view from a tall viewing tower (not for vertigo sufferers!). This is also the start of the planetenweg (planetary walk), an 8 mile walk along the ridge with models of the planets along the way. These are scaled down in true proportion to the solar system. To look at Zürich from the other hills, go to the Irchel (Tram station Milchbuck) or Käferberg (Bucheggplatz, walk up the hill and keep right of the forest).

* Go club-hopping - Zürich has proportionately the largest number of clubs per capita in Europe. Pick up a free copy of the 20 Minuten (20 Minutes) paper and start exploring.

* Go for a bike ride! You can get free bikes, skates or other fun transport at several stops throughout town. Beware though that biking within the city is only for the experienced, as trams and buses frequent the roads and tram tracks are a serious hazard to inexperienced cyclists.

* Go to a "Free Walk Tour Zurich" [http://www.freewalkzurich.ch/] around the downtown of Zurich (every day at 11:00, Saturday and Sunday also at 13:00, meeting point before UBS building at Paradeplatz) or Zurich West. They usually offer to try out Swiss food and take visitors to places with restricted access.

* The Grossmünster sometimes has organ concerts in the evenings. Check the front door for notices.

* Take a 45 min train ride to see the largest waterfall in Europe, the Rhine Falls. Take the train from the Zurich Airport or Zurich HB (central station) to either Winterthur then transfer trains to Schloss Laufen (from April-Oct) or Schaffhausen then take the city bus #1 or #6 to Neuhausen Zentrum.                              	                              		EventsStreetparade, [http://www.streetparade.ch] - Currently the biggest open air techno rave in Europe. It happens one day each year on the second Saturday of August, during which trucks which function as mobile soundsystems ("Love mobiles") start driving along the lake side, starting from the east at Utoquai and ending at the west at Hafen Enge. Every year this event attracts nearly a million visitors who dance in the streets to the music which you can hear from anywhere in the city. After the Streetparade the party doesn't stop, there are open air parties along the route until midnight and club parties at various locations in town until late the next day, to keep the party going. Don't be surprised if the city's cleanliness isn't up to its usual standard the next day.

* Swiss national day, 1. August - Celebrations are carried out in many cities in the evenings and fireworks are launched at night. Watch them over the lake, or if you're experienced with safely launching fireworks yourself, you can buy them in the days leading up to the national holiday and have fun. The display over the Rheinfall, one hour away by S-Bahn, is also extremely popular.

* Züri Fäscht, which occurs every 3 years (last held 5-7th July 2013, next 2016), is a weekend festival celebrating Zurich.

* Sechseläuten, around mid-April, the guilds of Zürich celebrate their traditional spring festival with the burning of the snow man (Böögg). A procession of several hundreds of people with historical guild costumes and horses takes place in the centre of the town.
Shows and TheatreAn old silk factory converted to a centre of youth culture and art in the 1980s. The Red Factory became one of the most exciting parts of cultural life. An artists coop, a couple of kilometres south, form along the west bank of Lake Zurich. They have a variety of events, including music, film and theatre.

* Closer to the city centre.

*  Zurich's Schauspielhaus is one of the most important theatres in the German speaking part of Europe. The Schauspielhaus has several locations, the most important one being the Pfauen. Students can get cheap last minute tickets (10 minutes before the show) if they show their student ID.

* The Zurich Opera house shows frequently changing productions of world famous operas. As with the Schauspielhaus, students get a big last-minute discount. The best seats costs 45 CHF for students.

* Frequently changing Arthouse Movies, students get a discount.

                              	ETH Zürich (Federal Institute of Technology aka Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule, ETHZ) [url=http://www.ethz.ch/]]with about 18,000 students from over 100 different countries regularly appears at the top of international rankings as one of the best universities in the world. 21 Nobel Laureates have studied, taught or conducted research at ETH Zurich, underlining the excellent reputation of the institute.

* University of Zurich, [url=http://www.uzh.ch[/url]](UZH) with its 26,000 enrolled students is Switzerland's largest university. Founded in the year 1833, UZH was Europe's first university to be established by a democratic political system; today, UZH is one of the foremost universities in the German-speaking world. 12 Nobel Laureates have studied, taught or conducted research at Univerity of Zurich.

* The Zürcher Fachhochschule (ZFH), which puts the emphasis very much on acquiring practical skills, is made up of the Zürich Pedagogical University [url=http://www.phzh.ch/en/[/url]](PHZH), the Zürich University of Applied Sciences [url=http://www.zhaw.ch/en/zurich-university-of-applied-sciences.html[/url]](ZHAW), the Zürich University of the Arts [url=http://www.zhdk.ch/?id=962[/url]](ZHdK) and the Zürich University of Applied Sciences in Business Administration [url=http://www.fh-hwz.ch/g3.cfm/s_page/50510/s_name/home1/lang/EN[/url]](HWZ). It has over 14,000 students who can choose between full-time and sandwich Bachelor's and Master's courses in various studies.

* Cutting-edge research in Zürich is not just carried out at the ETH, the University or the technical colleges - the whole economic area is like a densely populated yet organically developed science park. Private research centres such as the multiple Nobel Prize-winning IBM Research Laboratory [url=http://www.zurich.ibm.com/[/url],]Google's European research centre and the Disney Research Lab [http://www.disneyresearch.com/labs/zurich/index.htm[/url] have also made their home in Zürich                              	                              
filter_dramaWork

                              	Switzerland has a very strict labor market. You will need a work permission visa and promotion from an employer.

For citizens of the EU-25 countries the bilateral agreements makes it easier to gain a temporary work permit typically for 5 years that is renewable if you have worked. Often a 1 year permit is issued to EU applicants, as such candidates can repeatedly renew even these 1 year permits. Legally, EU applicants have the same status as Swiss applicants when applying for jobs (employer does not need to justify hiring them, and must hire them in preference to non-EU/non-Swiss applicants if skills are equivalent).

For all other citizenships you need a company behind you and you must have skills that are rare in the Swiss (or EU!) labor market.

Working without permission can lead to a night in prison and deportation depending on you and the agreement with your home country.

                              	For shopping in Zürich there are three different areas in the centre:

* Bahnhofstrasse, which runs from the Zürich Train Main station "Hauptbahnhof" right down to the lake. Bahnhofsstrasse is famous for being one of the most exclusive and expensive shopping streets in the world. Here you can get anything from diamond rings to chocolate to fur coats. Globus and Jelmoli are two fiercely competitive department stores, both of whom carry items from many high-end brands.

* Niederdorf, which is the Old Part of Zurich and expands from "Bellevue" by the Lake right to "Central" which is just over the River from the train station. The Niederdorf is more for young people. Aside from a lot of fast food places you will find a lot of trendy clothes stores here.

* Löwenstrasse, which runs west of Bahnhofstrasse from the main train station, has lower range shops and a large branch of Migros, a department store chain.                              	                              		Swiss clocks and watchesYou may be disappointed to know that most of the cheap watches and clocks in Switzerland are imported from China and Japan for their cheap quartz movements (including most of the wall clocks and alarm clocks sold at department stores, for example). Don't purchase a "Migros Budget" clock for 8CHF thinking it is a Swiss clock! Nevertheless, real Swiss-made clocks are still well-known for their quality and reliability, and intricate mechanics. The following are true Swiss-made watches:

* Swatch, possibly your best bet for a "cheap" Swiss watch (40-100CHF) and perhaps better suited for the younger generation. Available in their stores on Bahnhofstrasse and various other locations, or in department stores.

* M-Watch, based on both Mondaine and Migros and available in Migros Electronics stores such as the one on the 2nd floor of the Lowenplatz location. Also relatively inexpensive (40-100CHF). Do not confuse this with "M-Budget" which is an imported cheap watch.

* Mondaine is known for their use of the famous SBB railway clock face. You can buy a replica of the SBB clock as a watch or a wall clock in most major railway stations, among other locations. However, you should note that most of them do not replicate the hallmark smooth movement of the second hand for 58.5 seconds followed by the 1.5 second pause that is characteristic of real SBB railway clocks, but they do replicate the clock face. They are quartz, and the price may seem a little inflated to you (130-180CHF). The vast majority of SBB railway clocks are actually produced by Mobatime (Moser-Baer AG), not Mondaine, even though Mondaine's name appears on some of the larger clocks such as the Treffpunkt in Zurich HB. Mondaine's wall and desk clocks, however, are only of "Swiss design" and are manufactured in China and Taiwan.

* Mid-range brands (100-500CHF) can be found at clock and watch stores throughout the city. Just walk in and have a look if you're interested. The upmarket Globus department store near the railway station also has a good selection.

* Upper-end watches and clocks, such as Rolex, are also sold, but you should probably do more research into them than you can find here. If you just want to stare at some of the most expensive watches for sale, take a look at the Bucherer store window at Bahnhofstrasse and see what a 25,000CHF watch looks like.
Swiss handcraftsSchweizer Heimatwerk, Uraniastr 1 (on the Limmat river), [http://www.heimatwerk.ch/]. Also branches in the Hauptbahnhof (main station), airport, and Rennweg 14 in the Bellevue area. Quality Swiss handcrafts and other Swiss-made products presented in a gallery-like setting. You won't find many cuckoo clocks and the like here (cuckoo clocks are not really Swiss, they are from the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) in Germany!), the emphasis is on real traditional crafts and the work of modern craftspeople. You will find things like sleek modern hand-blown glassware and beautiful hand-carved wooden items from the Appenzell region. A worthwhile visit even if you just browse.
Swiss army knivesCoop City in Bahnhofstrasse sells the Victorinox line at uninflated prices, although you won't get additional features such as customised faceplates or engraving. Many other department stores also sell them.

* Any cutlery shop will probably carry both Victorinox and Wenger lines of products. However, do make sure they are not inflating the price. For example, a SwissChamp (possibly the most popular model) should cost around 78CHF.
MarketsFlohmarkt Bürkliplatz (Fleamarket), Bürkliplatz (in the Bellevue area near the Stadelhofen station). May-Oct Sa 6AM-3:30PM. Fairly relaxed yet large flea market with many interesting stalls.

* Flohmarkt Kanzlei (Fleamarket), Helvetiaplatz, [http://www.flohmarktkanzlei.ch]. Open Sa 8AM-4PM. A big fleamarket that hosts up to 400 stalls on busy days.
OtherPastorini Spielzeug, Weinplatz 3 (near the river). A high-end toy store.

* Orell Füssli The Bookshop, Bahnhofstrasse 62. An English language bookstore.

                              	The quintessential Zürich dish is Zürigeschnätzlets, chopped veal in a cream and wine sauce, normally served with Rösti. Various kinds of grilled Würste (sausages, singular: Wurst) are also popular. These are most often accompanied by boiled potatoes, or Rösti, a kind of hash-browns, just much better (boiled potatoes then grated, then pan fried in butter until crisp) or Chnöpfli (small noodle dumplings, in Germany called Spätzle).

In general many kind of different meat (veal, beef, pork, lamb and mutton, chicken and other poultry meat, or even horse (considered to be very delicious and of high quality), and rabbit and venison during hunting season in autumn) you can find in many various dishes. In quality-aware restaurants they originate from a personally known, local source and are normally served with fresh, local and seasonal vegetables, besides standard side dishes.

While Fondue (melted cheese in a central pot, dip bread into it) and Raclette (cheese melted in small portions, served with potatoes and pickles) are not really local to Zürich (they originally come from the western French-speaking Switzerland) and consumed by locals only during winter season, they are available at some restaurants aimed at tourists even in summer.

The bread available in Zürich is generally delicious. There are many varieties, and your best bet is to go to a bakery or a supermarket in the morning or just after work hours, when most people are doing their shopping and bread is coming out fresh. A typically Swiss bread is the Zopf, a braided soft bread made from white flour, milk, eggs, butter and yeast that is commonly served on Sundays (the other name for it is Sonntagszopf, or in High German Butterzopf), or its luxury version called Buurezopf (Farmer's Zopf) made with Buuremehl (Farmer's flour, a combination of wheat and rye) instead of white flour only.

Try grilled Bratwurst from street stands, served with a large crusty roll of sourdough bread and mustard, or sandwiches made with fresh baked Bretzeln (large, soft pretzels; an original Bavaria treat and just recently "imported" by a shop chain).

For breakfast, try a bowl of (Bircher-)Müesli, which was invented by Dr. Bircher as a health food in Switzerland. The Sprüngli confectionery store tea rooms serve a deluxe version of this fiber-filled cereal with whole milk, nuts, fruits such as crushed berries and cream.

There are a huge variety of cheeses available at the supermarkets, specialty stores and markets, as well as all kinds of hams and dried sausages. Dairy products are generally delicious, especially the butter and yoghurts. Do not miss the supermarkets! You should take a thorough look through Migros or Coop and maybe even assemble your own lunch or dinner some time. Even the cheap, budget prepackaged desserts in the supermarket exceed the quality of what you may be used to.

Generally, locals prefer local and seasonal produces, though the prices for them are usually higher. The demand of so-called Bio products (aka organic products) is so high that local farmers cannot fulfill it, and therefore a large part of organic produces is imported, but probably come along with less thorough quality checks than Swiss are usually used to.

For those with a sweet tooth, there's a huge variety of chocolates to enjoy, from the cheapest chocolate bar to individually hand-made truffles. (See the Shopping section above). The chocolate bar displays at the supermarkets will overwhelm you! Also enjoy pastries and cakes from the various Konditorei scattered around town. In pastry shops, you can also find special pastry from Zurich: The most famous of them probably is Tirggel, a rather hard pastry made of flour and honey. Although traditionally made and eaten during the Winter holidays, many pastry shops (including larger supermarkets) sell them throughout the year. Often, they've got sights of Zurich printed on the top, can be stored for months and thus make up a pretty good and cheap souvenir. Another famous type of pastry are Luxemburgerli exclusively sold by the confectionery chain of Sprüngli (part of the famous chocolatier Lindt & Sprüngli). A typical cake is the Mandelfisch, an almond cake shaped like a fish.

Like most European cities, Zürich abounds with Cafés where you can enjoy a leisurely cup of coffee, glass of wine or other beverage, and watch the world go by.

There are many international dining options available, too. The current hot trend seems to be pan-Asian noodle/rice/sushi places. However, due to the far distance to the sea and the lack of original, well-trained Chinese/ Japanese cooks, the quality cannot live up to that of the original countries. Instead, the Italian cuisine holds the highest popularity among the foreign restaurants. They can be found throughout the city and are relatively cheap. Turkish fast food restaurants are also a delicious, cheap option.

Vegetarian food is easy to find throughout the city. Vegans may have a little trouble because cheese is used generously in most food, but should be fine living off supermarkets at the very least. Hiltl, the first vegetarian-only restaurant in Europe, is also worth a visit. You choose from the buffet, where your meal is priced by weight or from a variety of à la carte menus, which are a bit more pricey, but include vegetarian/vegan versions of popular Swiss meals like Züri-Gschnätzlets or Beef Stroganoff amongst Indian food and classic vegetarian plates. Another vegan friendly restaurant is "Bona Dea", which is located directly at Zurich's main railway station.                              	                              		BudgetBaba's take-away part of the Restaurant Pumpstation [url=http://www.pumpstation.ch/]]is located direct at the lake promenade (south of Banhof Stadelhofen).

* Gambrinus, Langstrasse 103 (near Helvetiaplatz) is a typical Swiss restaurant with good food and cold beer. It is located in the Red Light District (Langstrasse) of Zurich and is not the ideal place to bring children or acquaintances.

                              	Zurich has a lot of places to go out. There are a lot of clubs (around 80 at weekends), restaurants, Cafés, bars (around 500) but also many museums and theaters, one opera and two classical concert halls. The most common drinks in Zurich/Switzerland include: Beer (consumation in CH in 2011: 4.6 mill. hectoliter (hl) [url=http://www.bier.ch/deu/kennzahlen-marktaufteilung-ch.html])]and wine (2.7 mill. hl, 1/3 white and 2/3 red [http://www.eav.admin.ch/dokumentation/00445/00582/index.html?lang=de&download=NHzLpZeg7t,lnp6I0NTU042l2Z6ln1acy4Zn4Z2qZpnO2Yuq2Z6gpJCDdYF9gmym162epYbg2c_JjKbNoKSn6A--[/url]).

During the last 20 years, virtually all of the large Swiss breweries have been closed by or sold to huge, foreign owners. Nevertheless, as a kind of counter-mouvement, numerous tiny and small regional breweries have been founded and are extremely successful, especially in Zurich (such as: TurbinenBräu, Amboss (Back und Brau), or Hirnibräu [url=http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z%C3%BCrcher_Brauereigeschichte][url=http://bovbeers.wordpress.com/2011/05/02/bier-braucht-heimat-und-das-lohnbrauen-syndrom/]).]Another]well known Swiss beer and quite well known in Zurich is Vollmond by Brauerei Locher, Appenzell.

There are many different sites at which local wine is being cultivated and produced (Lac Léman (a majority of white wine: 68% Chasselas), Valais, Ticino (mainly red ones), around the three lakes of Neuchâtel/Biel/Murten, Grisons in order just to name a few major sites). Local productions are almost exclusively consumed locally, only 1-2% are being exported. In average, a Swiss citizen drinks 50 bottles of wine every year [url=http://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/leben/essen-und-trinken/Ein-Schweizer-konsumiert-50-Flaschen-Wein-im-Jahr/story/24777877[/url[/url].]Because of the high local request, prices can be quite high. About 170% of the local production quantity is being imported from different areas: France and Italy (34% each), Spain (14%), and Germany (4%), but as well as from Portugal or South Africa [url=http://www.eav.admin.ch/dokumentation/00445/00582/index.html?lang=de&download=NHzLpZeg7t,lnp6I0NTU042l2Z6ln1acy4Zn4Z2qZpnO2Yuq2Z6gpJCDdYF9gmym162epYbg2c_JjKbNoKSn6A--[/url].]There are countless many local culinary products you can enjoy, often depending on where you are: [http://www.kulinarischeserbe.ch/default.aspx?page=ucSearch[/url].

filter_dramaStay safe

                              	Zürich, like most cities in Switzerland, is relatively safe. Nevertheless, be on guard for thieves and pickpockets. Carry your wallet or purse in a secure way, not in your hip pocket or a backpack outer pocket. In particular, thieves are known to operate around the Zurich main train station. Do not let your bags out of sight for even a moment.

Public transport is very safe. You can use it without any special precautions.

If you decide to bicycle in the city, understand that Zurich is a city of public transport . Beware of tram tracks which can get your wheel stuck and send you flying into traffic, of the trams themselves which travel these tracks frequently (and may scare you into getting stuck into the track as just noted), and the buses, which make frequent stops in the rightmost lane. In short, bicycling downtown should be only done by those experienced with cycling with such traffic.

* Gay and lesbian travelers - Zurich is the favorite place to live for Switzerland's (German-speaking) gays and lesbians. The Canton of Zurich was the second canton, after Geneva, to allow registered partnerships for same-sex partners for example. The city of Zurich is probably the place in Switzerland that offers the most open environment for gays and lesbians. Gays and lesbians need not take special precaution for their safety on the streets. It is always possible for random homophobic behaviour to happen, though.

                              	Permanence Hauptbahnhof at the main train station provides urgent out-patient care for tourists without prior appointments. [url=http://www.permanence.ch/]]There is also a dentist downstairs at the station. For serious emergencies rush to "Kantonsspital", the university clinic which has a 24/7 emergency ward. Tram stop "Universitätsspital" (look out for the golden boy in front, then follow the red "Notfall" signs). They will not send away people with serious, urgent health problems. Ambulance phone number is 144.

If you're on a budget, don't stay out too late - the "N" night buses only run on weekends. When they run, they run only every 30 minutes and you must purchase a Nachtzuschlag for 5 CHF from the machine and validate it before boarding. On work nights, there is no public transport at all after about 12:30AM (although expensive taxis still exist in case you're stuck).

Stores are generally closed on Sundays including all supermarkets in the city, except those in the main train station and airport.

On Sundays, there are supermarkets open at the following train stations: Zurich main station, Enge, and Stadelhofen.

Avoid reaching/visiting Zurich on 1 May. The city is on a Labor Day/May Day holiday. The trams don't run for half the day so getting around could be a problem. Also, there could be some minor violent outbreaks and damages to cars.

Zurich has two police departments, the Stadtpolizei Zurich which is responsible for the city area and the Kantonspolizei Zürich which is responsible for the whole region. With approximately 1800 and 3000 employees, these departments are the biggest in Switzerland. While police officers in Zurich will happily help you out if you are in trouble or need an information, they are also known for approaching "suspicious" persons in order to check their papers. This procedure is annoying, but legal as you will probably have a hard time proving you were not acting suspicious. Carry a photocopy of your passport and your onward ticket with you, stay calm and polite and you probably won't have much trouble.

* [wiki=50c63b22cf2b15c4da2bb678943ba400]Winterthur[/wiki] - Since in winter there is little to do outdoors, people flock to this city, the city of museums. It can be reached by taking regular trains (26 min), or by S-Bahn S7 (34 min), S8 (28 min), S12 (21 min, fastest) or S16 (30 min).

* The [wiki=b69dc63741bfd0f834d7067c43101f02#See]Rheinfall[/wiki], a large-volume waterfall - the largest in Europe. Take any regular train, or S-Bahn S7, S8, S12 or S16 to Winterthur, and from Winterthur take S-Bahn S33 to Schloss Laufen am Rheinfall. This station is within the ZVV area, but only served between 08:00 and 16:30 (18:30 during summer). If you are going to the Rheinfall outside of these hours, you should get off at Dachsen, the station before Schloss Laufen am Rheinfall, and take the bus no. 634 to the stop Schloss Laufen, Rheinfall. Attention: The following stops Neuhausen and Schaffhausen are not covered by a ZVV ticket/card, since they are located outside of ZVV area!

* [wiki=b69dc63741bfd0f834d7067c43101f02]Schaffhausen[/wiki] - Pretty town located very near the Rheinfall. It is not located within the ZVV area. You can travel either via Winterthur or via Bülach. If you already have an all-zones ZVV card and you are using the S-Bahn S16 (takes an hour), you should buy a 4 zones Z-Pass FlexTax ticket. If you take the S33 from Winterthur (and you have a all-zones ZVV card), you only need a 2 zones FlexTax ticket. Another option are regular trains (RE, IR, IC) from Zürich HB (only 38-41 min), or a combination of S5/S22 (change at Bülach, although in the peak, the S5 is instead extended to Schaffhausen), which all travel via Bülach and Eglisau to Schaffhausen. If you do not own any ZVV card/ticket (e.g. as a tourist), then this option is even cheaper: you then only pay a 9 zones Z-Pass FlexTax ticket, instead of a all-zones Z-Pass FlexTax ticket for the journey via Winterthur.

* [wiki=89499bff239619e70c76cf9b39778d8f]Stein am Rhein[/wiki] - A pretty town, accessible by S-Bahn S29 from Winterthur, where S7, S8, S12, S16 and regular trains connect from Zürich, or via Schaffhausen. It is not located within the ZVV area. If you have an all-zones ZVV card and you will travel with the S29 from Winterthur (total time from Zürich is 65 min), then you only need a 2 zones OSTWIND ticket.

* [wiki=f68bfb436ebe303c88394ac3c23b2573]Baden[/wiki]. A cosy town just outside Zurich. Accessible by by S-Bahn S6 (38 min), or S12 (28 min). It is not located within the ZVV area. If you have an all-zones ZVV card, you should additionally buy a 3 zones Z-Pass A-Welle ticket. If you do not have any ZVV ticket/cards (e.g. as a tourist), you should consider to take the much faster half-hourly and direct IR train which takes only 15 minutes to Baden. Then you pay a 5 zones Z-Pass A-Welle ticket.

* Flumserberg [url=http://www.flumserberg.ch/winter/en/home]]- Famous ski resort with 65 km of skiing at various levels and a peak altitude of 2222 metres. During ski season, mainly on weekends, but also weekdays during the highest peak season, the S-Bahn S2 has direct connections (3 each, in the morning and afternoon, 75-80 min) between Zürich and Unterterzen (via the regular S2 terminus at Ziegelbrücke), from where a gondola lift connects to the resort (12 min). You could also take the faster IR train bound for Chur, and change at Ziegelbrücke for a local train (also bound for Chur) to Unterterzen (62 min). The Snow'n'Rail promotional offer gives you 20% on the train fare, a reduced 1;- or 2-day ski pass, and 15% discount at Intersport Rent. Info at [url=http://www.sbb.ch/en/leisure-holidays/day-trips/snownrail.angebotdetail.tagesausfluege-snownrail-glarusostschweiz-flumserberg.html[/url].]The offer is available from any railway station of origin. This means if you have an all-zone ZVV card, you can buy the Snow n Rail ticket with Pfäffikon SZ (last ZVV station) as the origin, thereby reducing the fare. This works both with the S-Bahn and IR trains which all stop at Pfäffikon. If your ZVV card does not reach Pfäffikon but does reach Thalwil, Horgen, Wädenswil or Richterswil, you can buy a Snow n Rail ticket from these stations, but note that the IR trains only stop at Thalwil and Wädenswil before Pfäffikon, which means if you're buying a Snow n Rail ticket from Horgen or Richterswil, you need to use the S-Bahn.

Other further away easy excursions from Zurich include:

* [[Sankt-Gallen[/url]] - Famous for its convent and extremely ornate Stiftsbibliothek. Also the point of access for the Appenzeller Bahn system, which can take you to the pretty town of [wiki=950b53b3e3ff8e4619e30b1fa9e08917]Appenzell[/wiki] where there is a cheese factory you can visit.

* [wiki=14192416fb46ff93682adf37f941dc92]Solothurn[/wiki] - A very pretty baroque town in the northern metropolitan area of Berne, accessible by frequent ICN trains.

* [wiki=8232ad3191a20df472f801567d9bcaf5]Lucerne[/wiki] (Luzern) - Pretty city, home of the transport museum, and further excursions possible. It can be reached by IR train in 45-50 minutes.

* [wiki=aea93afdf4bee7f4b52526ee5f040cea]Basel[/wiki] - Near the triple point between France, Germany, and Switzerland. IC train takes you there in 53 minutes.

* [wiki=cb1f000aef470f81d61a7fb262bea543]Berne[/wiki] - The capital of Switzerland, nice looking city, 56 minutes away by IC train.

Access to most other parts of Switzerland is extremely easy, thanks to the efficient and frequent SBB train system. Other locations easily accessible from Zurich worth a complete visit in their own right include:

* [wiki=05e302e5aab8a6fdaa8f3d9a573b8c1b]Chur[/wiki] and [wiki=493fafdd973f68a073e00b059a626ffe]Landquart[/wiki] - Although not so much to see within these cities, they are your starting points for exploration of the nature-rich and mountainous canton of [wiki=331b48ce68e351d650cb54654ee2c740]Graubünden[/wiki] and the Rhaetische Bahn system which runs over naturally scenic routes.

* [wiki=906e621d0a453fe7be4c326293881c73]Interlaken[/wiki] - Your gateway to the Berner Oberland, an incredibly scenic part of Switzerland with some of the highest peaks in the Alps. You can continue from there using the (also incredibly touristy) Berner Oberlandbahn to the [wiki=c34d38262d01ed32cb5f2dcc5924ec34]Lauterbrunnen[/wiki] valley and beyond, or get off somewhere and hike away from the touristyness if you are fit for it. The fastest route to Interlaken is taking an IC train to Bern and then another IC to Interlaken (this takes 1 hour 55 min). You can also taking an IR train to Luzern and then another IR train to Interlaken (Golden Pass or Zentralbahn, takes 2 hours 51 min). It is a much more scenic route.

*[wiki=edae2302d5f94a36540a03203937c0a8]Jungfraujoch[/wiki], if you feel ok to spend most of the time in a train (4:20h for one way) you can take a day trip from Zurich, although there is so much more that the Berner Oberland offers that you will be missing if you do not spend more time there.

From Interlaken, take the Berner Oberland Bahn to Lauterbrunnen, then Wengernalpbahn to Kleine Scheidegg and finally the submountain railway Jungfraubahn.

* [wiki=2f4d156f29b46c9add9d9337453822fc]Lausanne[/wiki] is 2 hours and 10 minutes away by train and is a gateway to the Lavaux vineyard region.

* [wiki=3f6765c843a517aa042ae011230aa976]Geneva[/wiki] is 2 3/4 hours away.

* The Italian-speaking region of [wiki=6141423ca28df564c911b1d85c6d0a20]Ticino[/wiki], including the fortified city of [wiki=b79907cede67b7be35e4e2847a7e46c9]Bellinzona[/wiki] are up to three hours away.

* The canton of [wiki=7073322280d239541a9682bbeebb1e91]Valais[/wiki] includes the famed [wiki=a07bff3e727bbe305ae3b74f1606c250]Matterhorn[/wiki] in [wiki=d0dd8ec0c54bfc44e84edbb133bc249a]Zermatt[/wiki] and other gorgeous scenery, and you can reach it in 3 hours and 11 minutes with one change.

* The Schwarzwald (Black Forest) of Germany is also easily accessible from Zurich. IC trains run every two hours during the day to [wiki=a330ac6c48198545d4d2f9ff2cb0fc05]Stuttgart[/wiki], stopping at [wiki=fb657700ece2772449e7d80388f85691]Rottweil[/wiki] where you can find decent connections to most places in the Black Forest. There is also the Bodensee ("Lake Constance") which you can reach by good connections to Konstanz.

Zurich is also extremely well-connected to the rest of Europe by train, with direct trains to as far as [wiki=e20d37a5d7fcc4c35be6fc18a8e71bfa]Paris[/wiki], [wiki=550d05ab240ec337038af814ff0de287]Barcelona[/wiki], [wiki=c87f42a2ab4a24074411dfd55ca71450]Belgrade[/wiki], [wiki=3eb8670d999ac077dd0e2c345cb7c905]Amsterdam[/wiki], [wiki=35d7df6ed3d93be2927d14acc5f1fc9a]Hamburg[/wiki], [wiki=601f9226a92f0a314068aa4395f65528]Vienna[/wiki], [wiki=9fed5dae86e3030d9be3740efa198659]Budapest[/wiki], [wiki=b827d268b3e75abe3c4419d959d93998]Zagreb[/wiki], [wiki=0a26395cc43da0729c1b4211ae8cb413]Bari[/wiki], [wiki=3695b37abcc37806addc313453f4f5d4]Milano[/wiki] and [wiki=1f49f770adc6c84629f50ce3ca2a2109]Rome[/wiki], just to name a few.
