About the city
Zurich, Switzerland’s financial and cultural hub, is not only a city of business towers but also one of Europe’s most appealing destinations for top-tier sports events and concerts. The city blends elegance, safety, and an urban pulse, so the event experience often feels just as good as everything before or after it. With the lake, the river, and a lively city scene, visitors easily find the perfect balance between entertainment and relaxation.
A major advantage of Zurich is its seamless connectivity. The local ZVV (Zürcher Verkehrsverbund) system integrates transport across the entire region, while VBZ (Verkehrsbetriebe Zürich) city services—trams and buses—make it quick to move through the center. For arrivals and transfers, the key hub is Zürich Hauptbahnhof (Zürich HB), the main railway station right in the heart of the city, linked to the S-Bahn Zürich network. If you fly in, Flughafen Zürich (Zurich Airport, ZRH) is conveniently connected to the city, making it easy and stress-free to reach the main areas and event locations.
When you have time before or after an event, Zurich rewards you with a stroll through the Altstadt (Old Town), with narrow lanes, historic façades, and views opening toward the water. Walk along the Limmat, head down to the shores of Lake Zurich, or fit in a short city break on Bahnhofstrasse—one of the city’s most famous streets. For a calmer pause, Lindenhof is a classic spot with a lovely atmosphere and a panorama that neatly rounds off an evening in a city that is both refined and exciting.
