    Hi. I am trying to locate on the Zurich Airport Map (or the main train station in Zurich) a Interdiscount store to purchase the triple adaptor AlpenRose discussed. Help?

    Oh Geologist

    Bonjour,

    Please check this link

    http://www.zurich-airport.com/passengers -and-visitors/shopping-and-attractions/storefinde r-en?id=852

    The Location Plan tab says: Airport Center Check-In 3.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks…’LeVoyageur’ (ah…canoeing in Algonquin!),

    I had pulled up that map but it wasn’t making sense. Now, it does. Thanks.

    If you don’t have any luck at the airport, here is a map of Zürich Hauptbahnhof, with legend showing location of shops, including InterDiscount, which is #444. Looks like they also have a smaller shop on the other side of the shopping hall, #445.

    The shopping hall is below street level. Opening hours for InterDiscount are Mon-Fri 08:00-21:00, Sat-Sun 09:00-20:00

    If you can’t find the adaptors and have to ask for them, this is what they are called:

    STEKO Abzweigstecker 3xT13

    Alpenrose
