Experience the Vibrant Wochenmarkt Helvetiaplatz in Zürich

Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving from Zurich Lake, head north on the A1 motorway and take the exit for Zürich-City. Follow the signs towards the city center (Zürich Zentrum). Once you reach the city, navigate towards Helvetiaplatz by following the signs for the University of Zurich. There is metered street parking available near Helvetiaplatz, but be aware that parking can be limited, especially on market days. The Wochenmarkt is held on Tuesdays and Fridays from 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM.

• Tram

  For public transportation, you can take Tram Line 4, which runs directly to Helvetiaplatz. If you're near the lake, head to the nearest tram stop, such as 'Burkliplatz' or 'Bellevue'. Board the tram heading towards 'Tiefenbrunnen' and get off at the 'Helvetiaplatz' stop. The market is just a short walk from the tram stop. Make sure to validate your ticket before boarding; a single ticket costs around CHF 2.60.

• Bus

  If you prefer to take the bus, you can catch Bus Line 33 or 72, which both stop at Helvetiaplatz. Locate the nearest bus stop; if you're near the lake, 'Zürich, Central' is a good option. Board the bus and ride until you reach 'Helvetiaplatz'. Again, validate your ticket before boarding. The fare is similar to that of the trams.
