Activities
Swimming
There are countless beautiful places to swim in the river or the lake in Zurich. Especially famous are some of its “Badis” which are places that provide amenities like cafes, umbrellas, changing rooms, lifeguards, and toilets. They are often free but sometimes cost up to 10 CHF. Alternatively, there are also many non-guarded places where you can go swimming. The following list contains some recommendations for swimming places close to the main building at ETH and the city center. However, there are also many places to swim that are less crowded but slightly further away from the city center, like “Werd Insel”, “Katzensee”, “Saffa Insel”, “Pfäffikersee”, etc.
Limmat river: "Unterer Letten" and "Oberer Letten", 20-30 min walking distance from ETH main building, free entry
Lake Zurich: "Seebad Utoquai" and "Strandbad Tiefenbrunnen", 16 min and 21 min public transport from ETH main building, 8 CHF
or in any of the unsupervised shores between these "Badis".
Uetliberg
Uetliberg is the house mountain of Zurich from which you have great views of the city and the lake. For an extra cost of 5 CHF, you can enjoy even more stunning views from the tower at the top. There are several hiking/walking options, e.g.:
Albisguetli - Uetliberg: very steep but well maintained, 4.2 km round trip, ~1:30h
Planetenweg Uetliberg – Felsenegg: planets of the solar system in scale 1:1 billion, 6.4 km one way, ~1:45h
Train connections:
Zurich HB – Albisgüetli: tram 13 (takes 17 min)
Zurich HB – Uetliberg: train S10 from (takes 28 min)
Zürich HB – Felsenegg: train S4 Zurich HB – Adliswill
cable car Adliswil – Felsenegg (takes 37 min in total)
Kunsthaus
Zurich has many museums that are well worth seeing: Zürcher Museen
In our view, the Kunsthaus is particularly recommendable for a visit during the conference days and it can be reached within 4 min (!) from the ETH main building. It owns one of Switzerland's most important art collections of paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings. The permanent collection includes works from Picasso, Monet, Giacometti, Warhol and Rembrandt, and admission is free on Wednesdays. In addition to the permanent exhibition showing around 1000 artworks, there are temporary exhibitions. During the time of the conference, these will be “Marcel Broodthaers” and “Käthe Kollwitz / Mona Hatoum”
Boat trips
Lake Zurich can be discovered in a relaxing atmosphere by a lake cruise. The “Short Lake Cruises” depart every 30 min from/to Zurich Bürkliplatz (can be reached from the ETH main building in 7 min) and take up to two hours. You only have to buy a single ticket for public transport (zones 110, 140, and 150) which costs 8.80 CHF. There is also a restaurant on board for which tables can be reserved. If you do not plan to go to the restaurant you don’t need (and you can’t) reserve anything in advance.
Food, drinks and nightlife
If you're feeling peckish or want to go for a drink in the evening at a bar, Zurich has a great selection of places to go. Many options can be found in the links below:
