About Zürich (Kreis 6)
Where to stay in Zürich (Kreis 6)
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Stays here trade centre for calm. Kreis 6 begins north of the old town, so a room in it keeps Zürich walkable while the streets themselves stay residential rather than commercial, with parish blocks around Guthirt Zürich and the Martin Luther Church. The MoneyMuseum sits close.
If you would rather sleep among apartment streets and walk in than book beside the Swiss National Museum, this district reads better.
About Zürich (Kreis 6)
What are the main landmarks in Zürich (Kreis 6)?
The MoneyMuseum draws collectors. Alongside it Kreis 6 keeps the Anthropologisches Museum der Universität Zürich, the museum of wax moulages, the Theatermuseum Stok and Daros-Latinamerica, a set weighted toward specialist collections rather than crowd-scale galleries. Churches anchor the street plan.
Guthirt Zürich, Johanneskirche, the Martin Luther Church and the Resurrection of Christ Church stand across the district, with the Georg Büchner memorial and the Benediktinerpropstei Stampfenbach among its quieter markers.
What is the history of Zürich (Kreis 6)?
Zurich's sixth district left little in writing. Kreis 6 sits north of the old town, and its entries are parish and institutional ones, Guthirt Zürich, Johanneskirche, the Martin Luther Church and the Benediktinerpropstei Stampfenbach, rather than a charter of its own. Museums occupy the same streets.
Flussfunde, the Anthropologisches Museum der Universität Zürich and the Zivilschutz-Museum hold what the district keeps of its past.
Where is Zürich (Kreis 6)?
Kreis 6 covers a little over five square kilometres north of the old town of Zürich, ground shared by Guthirt Zürich and the Martin Luther Church.
