What to do in Zurich

Zurich combines lakeside calm, riverside promenades, and a compact old town with regular football, ice‑hockey, and live‑event nights. Locking in Zurich tickets before you arrive makes it easier to centre your stay on a couple of big occasions and then fill in the gaps with strolls, museums, and time by the water.

Why buy tickets in Zurich via SeatPick?

SeatPick brings Zurich football, hockey, and concert tickets together so you can scan dates, prices, and sections in a single place. You can pair a domestic league game, a ZSC Lions fixture, or a tour stop at venues like Hallenstadion or Samsung Hall with Old Town exploring and lake cruises without juggling several booking sites.

• Filter by event type, stand, and price range, whether you are looking for a league match, a derby‑style clash, an evening of hockey, or a big‑room show at Hallenstadion, Samsung Hall, or The Hall.
• Listings spell out exactly what each ticket covers—home or away sector, central seating, standing areas, or hospitality—so there are no surprises when you reach the turnstile.
• All partners are checked and every order comes with at least a 100% guarantee, which is especially useful if you are planning a short city break around one must‑see match or concert.

Top Zurich sports teams

Football and ice hockey sit at the heart of Zurich’s sports calendar, giving visitors plenty of chances to catch a live crowd in full voice.

FC Zürich and Grasshopper Club Zürich

FC Zürich and Grasshopper Club Zürich are the city’s two historic football sides, with a long‑running rivalry that runs deep in local culture. Their home games bring strong, partisan atmospheres, and fixtures against other major Swiss clubs are ideal if you want a taste of domestic football while you are in town.

ZSC Lions ice hockey

The ZSC Lions are Zurich’s flagship ice‑hockey team and a regular contender in Switzerland’s top flight. Home games offer fast, physical action and a loud, family‑friendly crowd, making them a compelling option if your visit falls during hockey season or if football tickets are sold out.

Other sports events

Beyond club fixtures, Zurich hosts athletics meetings, road races, and occasional international matches or tournaments. Checking what is on for your dates can add a one‑off sports experience alongside more traditional sightseeing.

Top Zurich music venues

Zurich’s live‑music scene mixes modern arenas with intimate clubs, making it easy to slot a gig or show into almost any itinerary.

Hallenstadion

Hallenstadion in Oerlikon is Zurich’s classic multi‑purpose arena and the main stop for large‑scale tours across pop, rock, and family shows. Its flexible layout, strong transport links, and big‑room production capabilities make it a natural first port of call if you want an arena concert during your stay.

Samsung Hall and The Hall

Samsung Hall in Dübendorf and The Hall in nearby Dübendorf/Zurich’s outskirts host mid‑to‑large‑scale concerts, comedy, and special events. Both venues combine modern staging and sound with easy S‑Bahn access, giving you alternatives to Hallenstadion for big‑night shows.

Dynamo, Kaufleuten, and other clubs

Smaller venues such as Dynamo, Kaufleuten, Mascotte, and Plaza programme club‑sized gigs, DJ nights, and themed parties. Their central locations and more intimate capacities bring you close to the stage and make it simple to blend a show with dinner in the Old Town or drinks by the lake.

Top Zurich attractions

Zurich’s main sights are packed into a manageable area, with water, historic stonework, and city views never far apart.

Highlights include:

• The Old Town (Altstadt), a maze of lanes, guild houses, churches, and riverfront walks along both banks of the Limmat.
• Lake Zurich, where you can join scheduled boat trips, stroll the promenades, or relax in lakeside parks and bathing areas.
• Bahnhofstrasse, the city’s showcase shopping street, stretching from the main station towards the lake and lined with shops, cafés, and side alleys.
• Landmark churches and viewpoints such as Grossmünster, Fraumünster, and Lindenhof hill, which cluster within easy walking distance and offer rewarding city and river views.
• A mix of museums and galleries focused on art, design, and Swiss history, plus straightforward train links for day trips into nearby mountains and smaller lakes.

Planning your Zurich visit

When sketching out a Zurich trip, it helps to pick one or two centrepiece events, perhaps a big league match, a derby, a ZSC Lions home game, or a major Zurich tour stop at Hallenstadion or Samsung Hall, and then drop Old Town walks, lake time, and museum visits around those anchors. With your main tickets booked, trams, trains, boats, and short walking distances make it simple to connect venues with the waterfront, shopping streets, and hillside viewpoints while still leaving room for cafés and evening strolls.

From a football or hockey night and a concert at Hallenstadion, Samsung Hall, or one of Zurich’s club venues to a day split between the Old Town, the lakefront, and a couple of well‑chosen museums, SeatPick can help shape a Zurich itinerary that balances live sport, music, and the city’s most scenic corners.
