Overview

Join our alternative walking tour through Zürich West.

We will explore this trendy neighbourhood, which was once an important industrial area and has now been transformed into a quarter full of contrasts. Alternative culture & art, nightclubs, cool food venues & urban gardens have moved into the former warehouses and factories.
There is a lot hidden underneath the surface of Zürich West!

A friendly warning! Our tour won't be a typical sightseeing experience : )

We will learn about the history of industrialisation in Switzerland and its connection to the history of immigration.

We will discuss the challenges undocumented migrants and asylum seekers face in Zürich today. And you will have a chance to meet with local community members, who are involved in different initiatives and projects that help people with migrant backgrounds to integrate.
