About Zürich (Kreis 7)
Where to stay in Zürich (Kreis 7)
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Rooms here are scattered. Kreis 7 runs east of the old town, and a stay in it means residential streets with a ride into the centre of Zürich rather than a short walk to it. Zürich Zoo anchors the district.
Families building a city-break around the zoo, or anyone wanting space over shopfronts, do better here than visitors who want the old town at the door.
About Zürich (Kreis 7)
What are the main landmarks in Zürich (Kreis 7)?
Zürich Zoo carries the district. The Coninx-Museum keeps a smaller collection, while the Atelier Righini-Fries and the Jakob-Bosshart-Gedenkstein round out a short list that leaves Kreis 7 with few set pieces for its size. St. Martin Zürich stands among the streets.
Most of the visitor traffic reaching this side of Zürich goes to the zoo, and the rest of the district reads residential.
What is the history of Zürich (Kreis 7)?
The district record is thin. Kreis 7 belongs to the history of Zürich rather than to a town of its own, and what it carries in its own name are markers such as the Jakob-Bosshart-Gedenkstein and the parish ground of St. Martin Zürich. Zürich Zoo occupies part of it.
The Coninx-Museum and the Atelier Righini-Fries stand among the few named addresses the record keeps east of the old town.
Where is Zürich (Kreis 7)?
Kreis 7 covers about fifteen square kilometres east of the old town of Zürich, ground the Zürich Zoo shares with residential streets.
