Zurich Airport (ZRH) is Switzerland’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service carriers, regional operators and some low-cost airlines on European routes. Located about 10–13 km north of the city center, it can be reached by frequent S-Bahn trains in roughly 10–15 minutes or by tram, regional bus or taxi in about 20–30 minutes; expect public transport fares to align with Zurich’s tariff zones, while taxis and ride-hailing are correspondingly more expensive. The airport is generally regarded as efficient and well-equipped, with comprehensive passenger services and transfer options, though it can be busier and pricier than smaller Swiss airports. For budget-conscious travelers, off-peak trains and advanced booking often soften costs.
