By Tram

Zurich Public Transport (trams and busses) is called  Züricher Verkehrsverbund (ZVV).

Tram # 14 - from the tram stop "Bahnhofquai" (just outside the main station to the right) take # 14 direction Seebach. In about 17 minutes you will reach the tram stop "Bahnhof Oerlikon Ost", get off, turn right into Binzmühlestrasse, cross over Friesstrasse and follow Binzmühlestrasse on the left side. After a 5 minute walk you will reach our offices at Binzmühlestrasse 14.


Tram # 11
- from the tram stop "Bahnhofquai" (see above) you may also take tram # 11 direction Auzelg. In about 19 minutes you will reach the tram stop "Leutschenbach", get off, turn left, cross over Thurgauerstrasse and go straight up Binzmühlestrasse where - after about 40 metres - you reach our offices at Binzmühlestrasse 14.

By Train

All inter-city train connections get you into Zurich main station (Schweizerische Bundesbahnen SBB). From there the best option is to take a train to Bahnhof Oerlikon (trains every 5 minutes). It takes about 10 minutes to get to Oerlikon station. When getting off make sure to use the exit at the back of the station or continue to walk to the end of platform 6. From the back exit turn right and cross over the street, turn left and walk past the AVIA gas station and follow the directions stated above in street level, turn right into a short underpass until you reach Friesstrasse and follow the directions stated above in the "tram" paragraph.

By Plane

Taking a taxi from Unique Zurich Airport (Flughafen) to our offices is the easiest way (around CHF 35.00).

There are also direct trains to Oerlikon  (S2 and/or S16) which take 4 minutes: Follow the signs to the underground train station, three levels down. The escalator proof luggage carts in the baggage arrival area are free of charge and can be taken down all the way to the train station.
Before taking the last stairs down to the train tracks make sure to purchase a ticket either from a ticket window or from a ticketing machine.
