Connectivity

Nearness - short distances - quick: that's Zurich!
In Zurich everything you need is within easy reach - thanks to the short distances involved and the world’s best urban transport system. If you want to go to the countryside, it’s only ten minutes away on foot or by train; the nearest ski slopes can be reached in only one hour; if you prefer the theater, opera or cinema: they are all available locally. What more could you want?

The compact metropolis
Zurich’s public transport is quick, clean, safe, and punctual; the legendary reputation acquired over the years is justified. It couldn’t be easier to use: the same principle applies on the region’s coordinated network of railways, suburban lines, buses, ships and trams and that is “One ticket for all modes of transport”.
Zurich is an important rail junction both for Swiss railways and international trains with express connections to Swiss destinations and to European cities. The international high speed trains ICE (Germany), TGV (France) and Italy’s inclining Pendolino express all travel to Zurich.
