The Zurich Card
Sarah is planning a 2-day trip to Zurich and wants advice on whether to use a Zurich Card or buy single tickets for her travels between the airport and the main train station. She's exploring options as she also has a tour booked for the second day.
- A regular day ticket for zones 110 and 121 costs CHF 8.60 per person, which is cheaper than the Zurich Card if you're not visiting many museums.
- Consider buying a 24-hour ZurichCARD for your first day and a regular ticket for the second day to optimize costs.

Hi! I’m just wondering if anyone can give some advice on the Zurich card? We will only be using it for 2 days to travel between our hotel near the airport and the main train station return each day. Would it be cheaper to just buy a ticket for the zones we are travelling in each day?
Thankyou for your help Sarah

Hi Sarah,
A day ticket for zone 110 and 121 is sufficient in your case. It costs CHF 8.60 per person. A ZurichCARD costs CHF 48 per person for 3 days, and only pays off if you also use it for museums. Links to all the details can be found on myswissalps.com/ zurich/travel.
Enjoy your stay!
Hi Arno,
Thank you for your reply! I’m not sure how many museums we will fit in as we have a tour for Jungfrau booked for the second day of our stay. I’m very excited about visiting Switzerland and can’t wait to explore Zurich!

Hi Sarah,
You can buy a 24 hour ZurichCARD (CHF 24) for day one and a regular ZVV ticket for day two to reach the departure location of your tour.
Have a wonderful time!
That is a fantastic idea!! Thank you Arno! You are a wonderful help and this forum is just amazing for travellers with no idea how to navigate things in a foreign country.
Thankyou again!!
