There are several ways of getting around in Zurich. Although it may seem a dread to walk aroung Zurich, it is the easiest way. It is probably using the comprehensive modern tram and bus network. Vehicles run daily between 5.15 a.m. and midnight with services every six minutes during the rush hours. Tickets entitle you to unlimited travel within the corresponding zones and time period. Detours, return journeys and stop-offs are allowed and you may also change lines or modes of transport. All public transport in the Zurich region is geared towards self-service.

Tickets (day cards, single tickets for short or long distances, as well as for all zones) must be obtained from one of the ticket machines located at each stop before you commence your journey. Tickets cannot be purchased on the vehicles. Day cards valid for unlimited travel within 24 hours are particularly recommended. They can be obtained from the Zurich Tourist Office at the main railway station or from one of the ticket machines. Day cards valid for particular zones may be purchased from the information offices and 'Ticketerias' (ticket booths).

If you decide to come by car, you can use the well developed motorway network, which will lead you practically into the city centre itself. However, parking facilities are limited in the centre. The police hands out sheets with a list of all the multi-story car parks.
