Culture in Zurich
Zürich packs a remarkable range of cultural experiences into a compact city. The Kunsthaus Zürich holds one of Switzerland's most significant art collections, and the Schauspielhaus is among the leading German-language theatres in the world. The Cabaret Voltaire marks the birthplace of Dadaism, while the medieval churches of Fraumünster and Grossmünster anchor the old town alongside the hilltop Lindenhof. The lively streets of Niederdorf and Langstrasse offer a different side of the city, and the ETH Zürich reflects its intellectual tradition. Frauenbadi, Paradeplatz, and Letzigrund round out a city where culture takes many forms.
