Getting there and around

Airport
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.

Trains
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.

Getting Around
There is a comprehensive and unified bus, tram and S-Bahn service in the city, which includes boats on the Limmat River. Tickets allow you to switch between modes of transport as you like. There's a 24-hour city pass, and a 24-hour pass valid for unlimited travel within the whole canton of Zürich. Taxis in Zürich are expensive even by Swiss standards.
