Districts in Zurich
Every district has its own character. We know them well – and help you find the right area for your stay.
Altstetten
Zurich's largest neighbourhood on the rise: new towers at the station, a village core at Lindenplatz and the Uetliberg on your doorstep – minutes from the main station.
Kreis 1
The historic heart of Zurich: medieval lanes on both banks of the Limmat, the Grossmünster and Fraumünster, the Bahnhofstrasse on your doorstep – nowhere in the city is more central.
Kreis 3
Wiedikon combines real neighbourhood life with city proximity: colourful Belle Époque lanes around the Idaplatz, a station with the S-Bahn on your doorstep and the Üetliberg as a green back door – urban yet down to earth.
Kreis 4
Zurich's most colourful neighbourhood: bars and clubs on Langstrasse, markets at Helvetiaplatz, the Letzigrund stadium on your doorstep – vibrant, creative, right in the middle.
Binz
Zurich's creative quarter at the foot of the Uetliberg: studios and showrooms in old factory halls, its own railway station, Sihlcity next door – lively days, quiet nights.
Kreis 5
From industrial estate to trend quarter: Prime Tower, viaduct arches, Frau Gerolds Garten and surfing in the middle of the city – District 5 is Zurich's most urban corner.
Unterstrass
Quiet residential neighbourhood between Irchelpark and Schaffhauserplatz: University of Zurich Irchel on the doorstep, minutes by tram to ETH, the main station or Oerlikon – live where Zurich studies and does research.
