ETH in Zurich is beautiful

If you’re looking for another very interesting and FREE thing to do in Zurich, consider visiting the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich (ETH). Here, you can explore a unique piece of history—Albert Einstein’s old locker, which has been transformed into a small museum on campus. Albert Einstein studied at ETH Zurich between 1896 and 1900 and later returned as a professor in 1912. The locker, located in the main building, is now a tribute to his time at the university. It has been preserved to offer a glimpse into the life of one of the greatest scientific minds in history. Within this small exhibition, you’ll find photos, documents, and information related to his studies, theories and achievements. It serves as a reminder of Einstein’s connection to Zurich and his contributions to the world of science.

Heimatschutzzentrum in der Villa Patumbah

Spotlight on Zurich's hidden gem 🏰🌱 — if you’ve ticked off the old town and lake views, it’s time to discover Heimatschutzzentrum in der Villa Patumbah. This stunning mansion blends tropical vibes and Swiss heritage, tucked away on Zollikerstrasse 128. Honestly, the gilded ceilings and lush garden make you feel like you’ve stepped into a forgotten movie set—way quieter than most mainstream stops! Top Spot to Visit: Heimatschutzzentrum in der Villa Patumbah Address: Zollikerstrasse 128, Zurich 8008 Switzerland Opening hours: Wednesday, Friday–Saturday: 2pm–5pm; Thursday, Sunday: 12pm–5pm Tip: It’s rarely crowded, best appreciated mid-week for total chill time and uninterrupted photos. Entry gives you access to quirky exhibitions on architecture and conservation. Don’t miss the tiny café hidden inside for a quick espresso! Getting Around: Zurich’s trams rock—hop on line 15 or 11, stop at “Klusplatz”. From there, Villa Patumbah is just a 4-minute stroll. Forget pricey taxis. Buy a day pass via trip.com for unlimited local rides. Food Recs: Grab a pastry from Bäckerei Fleischli (near Klusplatz) before you visit. Their nut croissants are peak Swiss comfort and much cheaper than lakeside spots. Insider tip: This spot isn’t in most guidebooks—so you’ll enjoy a more local vibe, perfect for solo explorers or architecture geeks looking to dodge tourist packs. #ZurichSecrets #SwissVibes #VillaPatumbah #TripMadeEasy
