This hall may be the most beautiful hall in switzerland. As a musician myself i come here very…read moreoften not only to hear the crème de la crème of the classical music business, but also to play myself. The acoustic is great, the hall was constructed for an impeccable music experience. Even if you get bad seats you can hear every detail (as long as the artist plays precisely haha). The Tonhalle Orchestra is one of the very great orchestras. David Zinman, the conductor, is practically a legend and really knows what he is doing. This is kind of my home away from home - ithis place has kind of a comfortable and melancholic feel. I could stare at the ceiling for hours :) If you are in zurich an are interested in classical music, i highly recommend a visit at tonhalle zurich.

A very good Orchestra. I heard them at the RFH some years ago. My daughter's aunt plays cello with…read morethem. The Conductor is David Zinmann, an American. I like him, and his interpretations. Over the years they have had guest 'desks', including the late Rostoprovitch (who I met first) and Yoyo Ma. There are many others. In recent years the Tonhalle has toured America and Japan, as well as it's normal tours of Europe. Two years ago, they played at the Royal Albert Hall also.

The Swiss National Museum is a large museum located next to the Zurich HB train station in central…read moreZurich. The museum was free with the Swiss Travel Pass but otherwise is 13 CHF per adult. They have free lockers for bigger bags. The museum had three floors and spoke a lot about the history of Switzerland from the very beginning. There were a lot of war-related exhibits and stories of refugees. There were also exhibits about the history of banking and the neutrality of Switzerland. The museum was a little confusing to get around; you match the symbols on the walls to the ones on the map. It was cool to read through the history of the country and learn about the different aspects of life that make the country what we know today.

Good museum. Large and cheap for Switzerland and has various types of artefacts. Mostly history, a…read moretouch of geology, a little contemporary art & some historical art. The only downside is the layout is rather disorganised so it's easy to miss stuff.

I came here in '09 to hear some live music, and it was the…read morebest place that we went in Zurich! The band was great (Us3), and we felt so close- it's the small venue that I liked the most. Drinks weren't too pricey, and the crowd was fun, for some nice jazz in Zurich, Moods is the one!

You would be wrong to assume that Moods is only about Jazz depending on the act of the evening, the…read moreMoods branches out its musical feelers from New Orleans Swing to Reggaeton in a perfect setting, small enough to be cozy, yet not crowded and within the jaw-droppingly amazing building of the Schiffbau! Have dinner in the main Hall (what an architecture) before or a drink in the Nieturmbar (what a view) afterwards -or both, it'll be a memorable evening!

Absolutely love this museum! A must-see for anyone interested in design or graphic arts. Our…read moreInstagram-savvy 17-year old niece loved it as well! The depth and breadth of the museum's collection of artifacts is as impressive as the stunning and voluminous collection of landmark posters. The furniture area was also very cool. It's also one of the least-expensive thing you'll do in Zürich. Yes, it isn't a huge museum, but the entrance price is ultra-reasonable, with discounts for students and seniors.

This is a small but worthwhile museum to visit, especially if you're a fan of design. When I was…read morethere they had exhibits about skyscrapers and a retrospective of a fashion illustrator. Their gift shop was more like a gift "counter," but I liked their selection of merchandise. I guess it's also a school, which explained the "school-like" rest of the building. I spent a pleasant few hours perusing the exhibits and exploring the grounds of the museum as well as the funky surrounding neighborhood.

Went to this museum using the Zurich City Pass and was pleasantly surprised by how awesome this…read morelittle museum is. Located in the basement of a fancy Swiss watch store, this museum delivers a lot of information for being so small. You enter and get an iPad after you put your coat in a locker. You then enter in the number of a clock to read more about the piece, and in some instances, you can click the video to hear the chimes.

This was such a fun activity to do in Zurich for all ages. Huge soccer fan so was super excited to…read morevisit the FIFA museum and this place did not disappoint. You get to learn about the history of FIFA, play interactive games, buy soccer memorabilia , and more. They also have dining options. It was a truly a fun experience to learn about the history of soccer. See the medals and trophies. I was sad to have missed out on seeing the World Cup trophy as it was not there at the moment. For all soccer fans this place is a must visit . Enjoy it with your whole family.

Great museum with plenty of historical artifacts and memorabilia. They also have an interactive…read moreexhibit where you can play 5 different games related to soccer theme (free kick, dribble, etc. ). We really enjoyed it but is quite pricey €30 per adult. But worth the experience.

I came in when it randomly started raining, as it does in Zurich! The entry door is huge and kinda…read moreheavy. The museum is very accessible by multiple trams/buses. The lobby is very nice, and it's free entry just to sit around and enjoy the lobby which already has nice, colorful artwork to admire. My sister actually joined me in here with my niece and my niece enjoyed being breastfed with the beautiful artwork around her haha. The gift shop is also nice but of course pricey. I look forward to coming back to enjoy the full museum!

Kunsthaus Zürich is free on Wednesdays, for those who are looking at visiting, and it just happened…read moreto be the day we were in town. A few tips and tricks for those visiting: They ask you leave your backpacks and purses downstairs in the provided lockers. The elevator system isn't great, and will always stop at the lobby, no matter what you push, so it's a time consuming process to use it. The restrooms look like they should be pull doors, but they're actually push. It's the oddest thing and the honey and I were both tripped up by it. Overall, we both really enjoyed the museum, much more than the famous Prado, and would highly recommend stopping in if you're visiting Zurich, especially if it happens to be a Wednesday.
