Cultural locations in Zurich

For those with an interest in classical music, the Zurich Tonhalle is hard to ignore. One of the world's most acoustically perfect concert halls, it is home to Switzerland's oldest symphony orchestra – an internationally renowned ensemble.

Once used for shipbuilding, this former industrial building in the fashionable district of Zurich West is now an indispensable part of Zurich's cultural life.

With just 1,100 seats, Zurich’s is the smallest of the great international opera houses, and offers an exceptionally intimate experience of top performances.

Museums, galleries, art publishers - the Löwenbräu Areal is a much loved venue for art enthusiasts. The changing exhibitions of contemporary art have transformed this former brewery into a landmark cultural centre.
