How to get to Kraftwerk

🚆 Getting to Kraftwerk from Zürich HB (Main Station)

• On Foot (10–15 min): Exit towards Bahnhofquai / Europaallee and walk south along the river (Sihl). Look for signs once you reach Selnaustrasse 25. Kraftwerk is inside a former power plant & you’ll spot clear signs once you’re close.
• By Tram (< 10 min): Take Tram 3 or Tram 14 directly towards the venue.
• Navigation & Tickets: Use Google Maps or the SBB Mobile App for live connections. Tram and bus tickets can be purchased directly in the app or at station ticket machines.

🚕 Taxi / Uber / Drop-off

• Taxi / Uber / Drop-off: You can be dropped off directly in front of the venue entrance.
• Tip: Uber is generally significantly cheaper than traditional Swiss street taxis, though walking or taking the tram from HB is often just as fast.
• Parking: There is no parking at the venue. If driving, use nearby multi-story garages:
• Parkhaus Gessnerallee (few minutes' walk)
• Parkhaus Urania (short walk away)
