Zurich Airport (ZRH) is Switzerland’s main international gateway and typically functions as a full-service hub for Swiss International Air Lines alongside a mix of other European and intercontinental carriers; it can be pricier than regional alternatives but often offers frequent connections. Located about 10–13 km north of the city center, travel to central Zurich is usually quick via the S-Bahn (S2/S16) in roughly 10–15 minutes, or by tram/bus in 25–35 minutes; fares are zone-based and can often be covered by a short-distance ticket or city pass. Ground transport also includes taxis and ride-hailing that take 15–25 minutes depending on traffic and can cost noticeably more. The airport’s strengths include efficient security, ample shops and lounges, and strong rail links, while downsides can be higher retail and transfer costs and occasional peak-hour congestion.
