Zürich-Unique airport is 12 km north of the city centre. Airport information Telephone number is 8162211 and the website: www.uniqueairport.com.

Conference facilities are available for up to 120 people and there are several airport hotels, including a Hilton, and a Renaissance. 

City Centre 
Taxi in Zürich airport is the most expensive in the world, charging around SFr50 for the 20-min trip. Save time and money by taking the train to Zürich's main station and public transport from there to your destination. The journey takes just 12 mins and costs SFr5.40, including the tram connection from the station to your hotel: trains run approximately every 15 mins between 0600 and midnight, and connect with both the main trans-European network and local bus and train services to the suburbs. All airport hotels offer free shuttles to and from the terminal buildings. 

Orientation 
The River Limmat bisects the city on a north-south axis, flowing into the Zürich sea at its southern end. Banking and business districts as well as up-scale shopping areas are centered around the Bahnhofstrasse on the west bank, while the east bank has a loose and lively atmosphere, with an emphasis on culture and entertainment. 

Taxi 
Taxis are inordinately expensive, should be used only as a last resort. Be warned also that some drivers like to treat their unwitting passengers to an involuntary sightseeing tour. It's good to act as if you knew the place inside and out. Given the city's compact size, it's often quicker to do as local business people do and use the excellent and efficient tram network running through the city.
