    Visit the observation deck in Dock B and enjoy fascinating views of the aprons and runways. The outdoor observation walkway allows you to catch a glimpse of the pilots in their cockpits.

    The code for free 60 min WiFi access can be used on multiple devices. Also: it's so clean that you can eat from the floor (but there are enough chairs and tables as well)

    I've never seen such an organized, clean and speedy airport. Or car parks. They are so clean you could eat from the floor. Classical music included!!! Compare that to UK car parks ... Yikes

    For int'l passengers transiting to/from terminal E: Get your code for free wifi by scanning your boarding pass at the kiosk b/w gate e53 and the Starbucks. This is not widely advertised.

    The quietest airport I've been to. And the scenery around is just brilliant. Typical swiss surroundings. Coupled with an awesome terminal one of the best airports in Europe.

    One of the best airports in Europe. Security check is really efficient and never took me more than 10 minutes waiting. I love it

    Fancy a drink in Zurich? The Kronenhalle Bar is an institution for itself, with paintings by Miró, Picasso and Klee on the walls and former world champion barkeeper Peter Roth in charge of drinks.

    Best airport - period! 🇨🇭👌 No other is better prepared, efficient and effective. You feel safe as well because they are mindful with the security checks and no package lies around unattended.

    The tips are self explanatory and it's simply the best airport around. Shops, food, architecture, views. And yes, best security and border system I've seen yet.

    Arriving from outside of the Schengen area, you can choose which of the two passport control points to use, by taking the tunnel connecting the B/D gates with the E gates. Useful if one is very busy.

    One of most organized airports I know. A cow's moo, horns and bells on the inter-terminal train puts you right in the Swiss spirit. And if you're a chocoholic, Sprungli's shop is a must-stop.

    If your flight departs from Gates E (eg. E59) then go the gates immediately! There are cafes here, but it’s a long walk, passport control, several escalators and a rail transit service!

    The Asia restaurant on level 2 of the Swiss Airlines terminal is super yummy. I tried the Tom Yam Goong and Green Cury and loved it. Nicely spicy.

    All non-Schengen departures (US, Africa, Middle East, etc.) leave from terminal E, accessible by a 3 min. train ride. What a stellar airport. So quiet and clean. ❤🇨🇭

    9/10 A huge airport where you can find many duty free shops. Well, zurich is a very very expensive city, but it is really very beautiful! Inside the port there is a info kiosk for the visitors to ask

    I suggest travelers arrive well ahead of their flights for this airport. It is rather massive in scale: in my case, I arrived via train, and spent some 40mins reaching Terminal E (Turkish Airlines).

    Since Switzerland is not an EU country (although it is in Schengen area), you have to finish your tax-free process and get official stamp on your invoice at the country of purchase!

    If you like chocolate you must visit the lindt store on the second floor: they even produce handmade fresh chocolate and have lindt ice cream which I don't think I've seen anywhere else in the world!

    Family service area in Terminal E was a life saver for us and our 3 year old and 1 year old. Very friendly staff and great place for the kids to play and for adults to relax while watching their kids.

    The Airport completed a major expansion project in 2003, in which it built a new parking garage, a new midfield terminal, and an underground people mover to the midfield terminal to the main terminal.

    Nice airport. I hate their lounges for lack of space, but other than that it's great. I mean food court, shops, everything that helps to get distracted from flying is awesome.

    Buy something inexpensive & use your 20% off coupon for a larger purchase. Airport is clean & crisp, very Swiss. Several lounges for Priority Pass members. Easy to navigate. Food is good but pricey.

    The first flight abroad from Switzerland landed in 1921. In the early years of aviation, the Dübendorf Air Base, located some 8 km (5.0 mi) to the south-east of Zurich Airport.

    If waiting for a flight from "D" gates, go through the terminal building and then take an escalator to the first floor. Nice views of aircrafts taxiing around and departing from RWY16!

    Everything is closed on sundays, so airport or train station it is. At the airport though, you get the food court, starbucks, shopping and a deck to look out at the planes. Awesome.

    ZRH is a big airport, as others in Europe. So, some tips to help you: 1) Banks are in Check-in 1 area (UBS) and 2 Credit Suisse; 2) Customs is in Check-in 1 area, near of UBS;
