Zürich Card: Public Transport, Museum Access, and Discounts

Discover more, spend less

The Zürich Card gathers key parts of a city break into one pass, so you can plan your time instead of juggling separate tickets. Two duration options, 24 hours or 72 hours, let you match the pass to a short stopover or a long weekend. Included public transport in second class across the covered zones, free entry to many participating museums, and discounts at selected attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops all sit within a single purchase.

Exploring Zürich made easier with public transport

With the Zürich Card, your transport around the city becomes straightforward. The pass covers unlimited second-class travel by tram, bus, train, boat, and cable car within the applicable zones. Your journey between Zürich Airport and the city is included, as is transport out to Uetliberg. Selected cruises on Lake Zürich and the Limmat River also form part of the transport benefits, so you can mix everyday routes with more scenic journeys.

Seamless activation

Details about how to activate or collect your Zürich Card come with your booking confirmation, so you know exactly what to do before you set off. Any requirements to reserve specific activities or time slots are outlined there, helping you secure preferred timings. The pass duration starts from the first moment of use and then runs for either 24 hours or 72 hours, depending on the option you choose. For example, if you first use a 24-hour card at 10:00 on Tuesday, it remains valid until 10:00 on Wednesday.
