This opera house was built in 1891 over the old one that burnt down in a tragic fire. The building itself is a work of art, and even those who are not particularly interested in operas and ballets enjoy seeing the inside of this architectural gem.


Zurich West

Once an industrial district full of factories and warehouses, Zurich West is quickly becoming the city’s hippest neighbourhood. A decade ago no tourist would have had a reason to step foot in Zurich West. After all, there was nothing charming about abandoned warehouses and old ship-building factories. Today, however, the neighbourhood is drawing attention from all corners of the world, as it experiences an interesting artistic revival. Empty warehouses have been turned into museums, boutique shops, and underground theatres, and some of the concrete blocks have been replaced by trendy and sophisticated designs that cater to a younger crowd. Zurich West is a mecca of art and design, second-hand stores and street art. It is also known for its amazing culinary scene, with concept restaurants that are imagining new ways to mix it up.
