Kopfsprung

Whether you’re into arts, entertainment, sports or more of a gourmet – Zurich has something to offer for everyone. There are internationally renowned institutions such as the art museum or the opera house, unique performances on small stages, concerts in former factories and numerous festivals. For the sportsperson as well as the landscape enthusiast, Zurich’s position by the lake and its proximity to the Alps will be among the main attractions.

Zueritipp, the Thursday supplement of the newspaper Tagesanzeiger, has a detailed calendar of cultural events. It's also available online, although only in German. Ron Orp is a weekday newsletter and website with information on culture, gastronomy and other offers in the city of Zurich. It exists both in German and English. So does Kulturzüri. TimeOut also has a few tips on what to do or where to go in Zurich and other Swiss cities.
