Which zone is Zurich Airport?

The city zone 110 is in general sufficient for your travels during ZuMUN. Zurich Airport, however, is not part of the city zone. If you travel to or from the airport, you need a ticket which also covers the neigboring zone 121.



Zurich Airport (Flughafen Zürich) is located within Zone 121 of the Zürcher Verkehrsverbund (ZVV) transportation network. However, because most travelers are heading to or from the city center of Zurich, which is Zone 110, you typically need a ticket that covers both zones. In 2026, a standard "Single Ticket" for a journey between the airport and Zurich city center counts as 3 zones because Zone 110 (the city center) is technically a "double zone" in the ZVV fare calculation. This means you should purchase a ticket for 3 zones, which costs approximately CHF 7.00 for adults and is valid for one hour of travel on all trains (S-Bahn), trams, and buses within those areas. If you plan to make more than two trips in a day, buying a 24-hour day pass is often more economical. For international visitors, the "Zurich Card" is a popular choice as it covers all transport to and from the airport and throughout the city, while also providing free or discounted entry to many local museums and attractions.
