Regular bus and taxi options are available—buses often take around 20–35 minutes while taxis or ride-hailing rides can be quicker depending on traffic. Advantages include frequent connections and modern facilities; downsides can be occasional queueing at peak times and higher on-site prices compared with city alternatives.

The airport lies about 13 km (8 miles) north of the city center; a direct intercity train takes roughly 10–15 minutes and fares can be around CHF 6–10, while tram and bus connections usually take 30–40 minutes depending on the line and cost similarly.
