Where to stay in Zürich (Kreis 5) / Gewerbeschule
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Rooms here answer to the museums. Gewerbeschule sits inside the Industriequartier, and the Swiss National Museum, Haus Konstruktiv and the Zürcher Spielzeugmuseum all fall within a walk of it, which is the whole argument for booking in this quarter. Liebfrauenkirche marks the calmer edge.
Travellers who want the Maag Halle in one direction and the Rennwegtor end of Zürich in the other stay here rather than further out.
About Zürich (Kreis 5) / Gewerbeschule
What are the main landmarks in Zürich (Kreis 5) / Gewerbeschule?
The Swiss National Museum dominates. Haus Konstruktiv, the Uhrenmuseum zum Rösli, the Zürcher Spielzeugmuseum and the museum of wax moulages fill in behind it, a run of small collections that gives Gewerbeschule more exhibition space than its size suggests. Churches supply the older fabric.
Liebfrauenkirche and the Resurrection of Christ Church stand among the streets, while the Wasserturm Schanzengraben, the TBZ Turm and Puls 5 mark the Industriequartier side.
What is the history of Zürich (Kreis 5) / Gewerbeschule?
Old names crowd this quarter. Turicum, the Oppidum Zürich-Lindenhof, the Oetenbach nunnery and the Rennwegtor sit among the entries the record keeps for the ground around Gewerbeschule, which reaches back well past the Industriequartier that contains it. Church foundations follow.
Liebfrauenkirche carries that later layer, and the Swiss National Museum gathers the material evidence of it under one roof.
