How to find your way to ETH Zentrum

General information

Please use public transportations as you can. In most cases they are faster, cheaper and you have less stress!

Arrival at the airport (Zurich Kloten)

After reclaiming baggage, follow the signs "Bahn/Railway" to ticket counters and machines. There are English instructions on the machine; follow them or simply press the left (red) key at the bottom where it says "Zurich City" (make sure that the display shows "2 Std"). The machine prompts for 5.40 CHF and accepts coins as well as 20.- CHF. banknotes and gives change. The ticket is valid during the next 2 hours for any train to Zurich as well as for the trams and buses in the city (streetcar, Strassenbahn). Take an escalator down to the platforms 3 or 4. Trains to city centre leave approx. every 10 minutes and take about 10 minutes to reach main station (main station or Zurich HB).
If you plan to stay the whole day, a day ticket (valid 24 hours) for 10.80 CHF is more suitable.

Arrival at the railway main station (Hauptbahnhof)

At the main station walk to the head of the train and follow any signs to "Bahnhofstrasse". Once outside the station walk about 50 m up the road to the tram stop on the left-hand side. If you arrived by train and haven't yet got a tram ticket, you must now buy one from the blue ticket machine. Depending on your needs, you can buy a day ticket for 7.20 CHF which is valid for 24 hours for all trams and buses in the main zone (no. 10) of the city or, if all you need is to reach the ETH Zentrum, press the yellow button and put in 2.10 CHF.
