It’s located roughly 10–13 km north of the city center; rail connections to Zurich Hauptbahnhof take about 10–15 minutes, while trams and buses reach central neighborhoods in 20–30 minutes, fares typically align with the city’s public-transport pricing system. Taxis and ride-shares are quicker but more expensive. Travelers can expect a well-organized, efficient terminal with premium lounges and shopping, though peak times can be busy; proximity to the city is a clear convenience, while higher Swiss prices can be a downside for budget-conscious flyers.
