Newest Review: ... had to go by foot between one terminal and another. This is however not too much of a hardship and the airport was very well signed, with signs in English. As a non EU state, Switzerland still has the Tax and Duty Free shopping facilities that are not open to people within the EU. The shops are clean, although of course being in Switzerland there are no Euro pricings unlike other airports. ... more

Zurich, famous home of the gnomes is the hub from which most Swissair flights leave, and is generally most crowded just before and after business hours, with the jet-set taking off and landing here. I flew through Zurich twice in the last month, arriving first time round at 11am and then the second time round at 7pm. On both occasions I found that the airport was very clean, which was no surprise, since the Swiss are renowned for their tidiness. The airport is currently undergoing major expansion, which did mean that moving walkways were not working (they were still being finished) and so you had to go by foot between one terminal and another.

The Zurich airport is located (12 km) north of the center of Zurich. There is a tourist information office in the arrivals area of terminal B, where transcontinental flights arrive. There is also a tourist office in the central rail station, the Hauptbahnhof. Taxis are available outside the arrivals hall. The fares are metered and will be about 55 Swiss francs. Travel time to the centre about 20 minutes, up to 40 minutes during rush hours. The easiest and best way to central Zurich is with the Swiss Rail (SBB) feeder service. Trains leave directly from the airport rail station, which is underneath the airport. It is a short walk from the arrivals ... Read the complete review
