Discover Zurich's Neighborhoods
Four distinct atmospheres – each with its own rhythm, character, and charm. Each neighborhood is worth a visit.
Old Town
I love how the Old Town keeps surprising you. Medieval lanes, a quiet café by the river, a church that has stood for centuries, unique boutiques and lively squares, all just minutes apart on foot. My advice? Come here and wander the cobblestone streets.

Right Lakeshore
People don’t usually expect to be able to swim in urban rivers and lakes, but here you can. The right lakeshore has lidos, promenades, and open-air cafés with the Alps in view: an easy, sunlit escape with no need to leave town.

Left Lakeshore
Most visitors skip the left shore, which is a real pity! Green and tranquil, and lined with villas and museums, this is a place where you can slow down and breathe, just minutes from the buzz of the city center. Come for the serene and romantic atmosphere.

Highlights on the Left Lakeshore
For me, Zürich-West is Zurich reinvented. Viaduct arches, shipping container towers, and bars on former industrial sites. Come hungry and curious and discover a completely different side to the city.
