Zürich Airport

If you’re considering an escape from Zurich Airport during a layover, we highly encourage it!

Zurich Airport is the largest international airport in Switzerland and the principal hub of Swiss International Air Lines. As a major European hub for travelers with connections on multi-segment flights, Zurich is one of the best airports for a layover.

As long as you have at least 5 hours, you can spend your layover enjoying Zurich’s fresh air. Most of Zurich’s top attractions are conveniently located close to each other, making two hours more than sufficient to explore them.

The airport is just a short 15-minute drive from the city center, allowing you ample time to explore Switzerland’s largest city with a city walk tour.

Can I go outside the airport during a connecting flight?

Yes, you can leave the airport on domestic flights in a layover and you don’t need to present any documents.

Remember that you’ll need to pass through security screening once more before boarding your plane.

Do I need a visa for layover in Zurich?
