Getting to ETH
ETH Zurich central campus (Zentrum) is located in the heart of the city and easy to reach.
From Zurich HB (main station): If you arrive by train to Zurich HB, take:
- Tram no. 6 (direction Zoo) from tram stop “Bahnhofstrasse/HB”, exit at tram stop “Voltastrasse”. Journey time: about 10 minutes. Our building, ETZ, is just below the tram stop (you pass it along the way to the tram stop Voltastrasse, on the left side just at the curve). Trams operate daily from 6 a.m to 11 p.m. with trams departing every 7 to 15 minutes.
From Zurich airport: You can either take the tram to ETH or a train to the city center (Zürich HB):
- Tram no. 10 (direction Bahnhofplatz/HB) to tram stop “ETH/Universitätsspital” then change to Tram 6. You will find the tram stop “Bahnhofstrasse/HB” for tram 6 (direction “Zoo”) on the opposite side of the tram tracks. Take tram 6 two stops and get off at tram stop “Voltastrasse”. Our building, ETZ, is just below the tram stop (you pass it along the way to the tram stop Voltastrasse, on the left side just at the curve)
- S-Bahn/Train: Follow the signs “Bahn/Railway” to the ticket counters and/or ticket machines. You will find instructions in English on the ticket machines. Get a ticket for “Zürich City” (make sure that the display shows “1 Std”). The machines accept coins, bills as well as credit cards and give change (the ticket costs 6.40 CHF). The ticket is valid for 1 hour for all trains to Zürich as well as for trams and buses in the city (streetcar, Strassenbahn). Take the escalator down to the platforms. Trains to the city center leave approx. every 10 minutes and it takes about 10 minutes to reach the main station. From there take tram no. 6 as described above.
