As Jeani K. mentioned, the Stadthaus is where the 'welcome to ZH' events (one for Germans & one for…read morethe rest of us) are located. For those of us on the 'other end' of our CH experience, the Stadthaus is also where one 'de-registers' from Swiss life. One brings one's Kreisbüro ID along with formal ID to one of few 'Abmeldung' lines located on the ground floor to start the ball rolling. Be prepared to be sent to a couple different offices during the Abmeldung process. The first office deals with taxes. If one hasn't yet paid taxes before exiting CH, then that transaction will take place then and there. The last stop was to obtain an official paper showing that one will be leaving the country and it is used to cancel insurance, phone service, etc. De-registering sets one back 30 CHF per person. Cash or card accepted. We had absolutely no issues with our Abmeldung process. Staff were professional and helpful. It's nice to have a smooth send off!

I came to the Stadthaus (City Hall) a couple of nights ago to attend an information evening for new…read moreEnglish speaking residents of Zurich. The session was hosted by the City of Zurich's Integration department inside the Stadthaus 3rd floor music hall. Upon walking into the entrance of the building, I was pleasantly surprised by the beautifully designed interior full of old world charm. The 3rd floor music hall was elegant and delightful as well with full view of the Grossmünster, Münsterbrücke, and the Limmat River below. I loved the details of the music hall such as the painted ceiling murals, the Latin inscribed gilded wooden tablets and the 12 foot wrought iron chandeliers. The info session was useful but I'm even more glad to have had a chance to see and experience the interior of this charming historical building.

This is a nice place to go for a jog. It's also a dog park with lots of dogs running around…read moreoff-leash. I did run into a few tense situations where an overly excited dog would bark at me if I ran too close by, but most of the time it wasn't an issue. There are also soccer teams and model plane enthusiasts frequenting this place. For me, it's a little haven of green trees and grass with a running stream and loose rocks in the middle of the city.

I love this park! It's a pretty large expanse of greenery with a river running through it. I saw…read moremost dogs were off-leash so I let mine off too. So happy to find an off-leash park in Zurich. People will come here to run, walk, bike, barbeque, let their kids/dogs play in the river, fly a kite, you name it. There are also a few pedestrian bridges that go over/under the freeway and take you to Wollishofen. I took a path that led directly to the cemetery Friedhof Manegg. This park has many entrances, among them are: - Sihlcity - stairs from the apartment next to Migros at Giesshübelstrasse 65 - from the park at the base of Uetliberg (off of Uetlibergstrasse)
