Getting to Zürich

By rail

Concourse of Zürich HauptbahnhofMany of Switzerland's intercity trains pass through Zürich and many with either originate or terminate there. International trains from France, Germany, Austria and Italy arrive in and depart from Zürich through the day. Regular trains also connect Zürich to Zürich International Airport and also Geneva International Airport making Zürich very highly accessible.

By air

Zürich International Airport is one of the major international airport in Switzerland. It serves as a hub for Swiss International Air Lines who operate international, intercontinental and domestic flights from the airport. Many other major international carriers also offer flights to Zürich. Coming from the Asian side, in my experience, the best carrier is Singapore Airlines but which airline you choose depends very much on where you're coming from.

From the airport regular trains leave to the Zürich citys Main Train Station (the Hauptbahnhof.) The journey into town takes around 15 minutes. You don't need to leave the airport building to get to the train - just follow the signs. There is a train ticket office next to the train platforms. The Swiss Federal Railways publish a time table of trains both leaving from and arriving at the airport.
