About Zurich Airport

Being the principal hub of the Swiss International Airlines, Zurich Airport is the biggest airport in Switzerland and sees millions of passengers pass through each year. It has essentially become its own little community within the parameters of the airport offering services such as stores, restaurants, fitness centers, spas, and salons. Passengers on a short layover do not have to worry about being bored or not finding something interesting to occupy their time. Simply squeeze in a quick workout and then grab a shower before dashing off to meet your plane or get an entirely new look at the salon and wow your loved ones when you get back home. 

Those experiencing a longer layover will probably want to venture out into Zurich and experience the Swiss culture first-hand. Visit museums, art galleries, top restaurants, and fantastic shopping malls. Wander through parks for some fresh air and mingle with the locals at a nearby coffeehouse. Spend a few hours or days experiencing Zurich. 

Fun Fact: Construction on the Zurich Airport began in 1946 with the first flight taking off in 1948. The official grand opening ceremony was in 1953 and lasted three days ending with a large air show.
