Where to stay in Stadt Winterthur (Kreis 1) / Heiligberg

Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.

Rooms here are private, not commercial. The Städtische Wohnkolonie im Vogelsang, the Siedlung «Union» im Vogelsang and the Siedlung Jonas-Furrer-Strasse fill most of Heiligberg with listed dwellings, which leaves the quarter short on beds and long on quiet streets. Villa Frohberg and Villa Sonnenberg sit apart from them.

Heiligberg suits you when Museum Schaffen and oxyd, Kunsträume are the reason for the trip and a walk into Stadt Winterthur (Kreis 1) is no burden.
