Where to stay in Zürich (Kreis 5) / Gewerbeschule
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
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.

Liebfrauenkirche carries that later layer, and the Swiss National Museum gathers the material evidence of it under one roof.
