Zurich is one of those cities that surprises in every season. In summer, life pulses by the lake; in autumn, the alleys of the old town glow in warm tones; in winter, the Christmas markets sparkle; and in spring, the city celebrates new beginnings with traditions that exist only here. In short: Zurich is always worth it. And for those who want to stay right in the middle of it all, a serviced apartment in the city center is a better choice than even the most stylish hotel room: more space, more flexibility, more of a homey feeling.

Zurich – 365 Days of Inspiration

Spring: When the city blooms, Zurich’s traditions also awaken. At Sechseläuten on Sechseläutenplatz, winter and cold are symbolically sent off – including the Böögg on the bonfire, whose explosion supposedly predicts the quality of the summer. A colorful spectacle with guilds, music, and horses that brings Zurich’s history to life.

Summer: Now the city belongs to the water. On hot days, people meet at the Limmat and Lake Zurich, dive into the public baths, take a boat, or simply pause at the shore. Summer is also festival season – especially the Street Parade, which in August attracts hundreds of thousands to the lake and is considered the world’s largest techno party.

Autumn: As the days get shorter, Zurich shows its cozy side: strolls through the old town, wine bars, small galleries – and clear views from the Uetliberg, the “local mountain” (871 m), over the city, the lake, and on clear days all the way to the Alps. (Check current travel info, as there may be construction work on the route at times.)

Winter: Advent is market time – from the old town to the main station (one of Europe’s largest indoor Christmas markets) to Sechseläutenplatz. Lights, scents, mulled wine: Zurich can do winter romance. And if you prefer warmth: museums like the Kunsthaus Zurich offer world-class collections.

What you can do here – short & sweet

Old Town & Niederdorf: Cobblestones, guild houses, small shops and cafés – perfect for wandering without a plan.

Water moments: From Bürkliplatz by boat across the lake, a jump into the Limmat, sunset at the Quaibrücke.

Art & culture: Kunsthaus (from medieval to contemporary), opera, theater – close together, easily reached on foot.

Views: Uetliberg for panoramas, Lindenhof for city history with a view.

Shopping & strolling: Bahnhofstrasse – luxury and Swiss classics; around it, many independent stores.

Why a serviced apartment in the heart of Zurich?

More space & privacy: Living area, sleeping zone, often a separate kitchen – ideal for longer stays, families, or workation.

Own kitchen: Breakfast at your rhythm, a quick plate of pasta in the evening, snacks in between – saves time, money, and fits any diet.

Hotel comfort, but more independent: Professional cleaning, fresh laundry, reliable Wi-Fi – without fixed restaurant or breakfast times.

Local lifestyle: In the middle of it all, not just nearby. Our location at Hornergasse 15 (8001) is in the heart of Zurich, just steps from Bahnhofstrasse, Lindenhof, and the Limmat – perfect for reaching everything on foot.

Zurich by season: a small planning aid

Spring (March–May): Pack layers – sunny but fresh. Must-see: Sechseläuten (April) and the first evenings on terraces.

Summer (June–August): Don’t forget swimwear – public baths are a cult. Street Parade in August for everyone who likes it colorful and loud.

Autumn (Sept–Nov): Crisp air for Uetliberg views, art and culinary programs in the city.

Winter (Dec–Feb): Christmas markets from late November until just before Christmas; afterward, museums, cafés, wellness.
