Getting to Zurich

Kloten airport, 10km (6.2mi) north of the city centre, handles domestic and international flights.

The journey from the airport to Hauptbahnhof station takes 10 minutes by train. On average, five trains leave per hour between 6am and midnight. Buy your ticket before boarding. A taxi into the city will set you back around quite a hefty sum.

The busy Hauptbahnhof has direct trains to Stuttgart, Munich, Innsbruck and Milan, as well as to many other international destinations. There are also hourly departures to most Swiss towns.

For drivers, the N1 is the fastest route from Bern and Basel; it also services routes to the north and east of Zürich. The N3 approaches Zürich from the south, along the shore of Lake Zürich.
