Where to stay in Zürich (Kreis 10)
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Kreis 10 holds few beds. Visitors who want a room in Zürich generally look at the central districts first, then treat Kreis 10 as the quieter base it is, a short run from the middle of the city. Green space carries the district rather than shopfronts: the Findlingsgarten Kappenbühl sets out its boulders, and the Heizenholz burial mound holds ground older than every street around it.
