Driving Around Zurich Airport

Zurich Airport is a short eight mile drive from the centre of Zurich itself along the A51 motorway, making it easy to book a last minute flight here and be living it up in the city within mere hours. You’ll find plenty of car hire options within the airport, as well as over 17,000 parking spaces. Driving within the city itself is smooth and easy, although as with most major cities it does become more congested during peak hours. With the glorious Swiss Alps less than an hour’s drive away, most visitors hiring a car here will understandably be drawn by those snowy peaks. Other scenic drives around the Zurich area, and there are many to choose from in this beautiful country, include the northern walls of the Jungfrau and Eiger in the Alps, Aletsch Glacier - the longest in Europe, a visit to the cosy town of Baden nearby, the outstanding Rhine Falls - the largest in Europe, and the museum-packed town of Winterthur, which is only a 25 minute drive away.
