In German the “West Zurich” part was for a long time the industrial center, and today after a 20-year project is the most pulsating cultural part of the city. Reuse of space is the forte here, a theater, restaurant, and jazz house where steamboats were once built, a design furniture store, gym, and bar occupying formerly abandoned arches are some of the examples you find at Zurich West.
This is a tour for people who are curious and interested in delving a little deeper into Zurich’s urban life, getting to know new brands or visiting the store of FREITAG, the Zurich handbag brand founded by brothers Daniel and Markus Freitag (Freitag means Friday in German, but in this case it is their last name).
