From arrivals to Zürich HB
Three steps once you have collected your bags.
01
Find the station
Zürich Flughafen railway station.
02
Buy and validate a ticket
Before boarding — a ticket bought but not validated can be fined.

Ride to Zürich HB
9–13 min.
Worth knowing
First departure 05:00 (S-Bahn, Zürich HB 05:12), last 00:42 (IR13, Zürich HB 00:53), on 363 of 364 days. The last S-Bahn is the 00:34 S24. About 219 departures a weekday, 182 on Saturdays; 12 or 13 an hour from 06:00 to 21:00.
The last train toward the city is at 00:42, the first at 05:00. Between them no train runs, on any night of the week.
Buy a three-zone ticket, not a two-zone one. The city zone counts double, so airport to anywhere in Zurich is three zones; a cheaper ticket is not valid on arrival.
Coming back the same day? Buy the CHF 14.40 24-hour ticket instead of two singles. It costs the same and covers everything in the city in between.
Six or more of you: one CHF 41.00 Multikarte covers six rides and the tariff lets a group share it — CHF 2.20 less than six singles, and the only party-size saving Zurich has.
The airport says the ride takes 15 minutes and trains run every 10; the timetable says 9 to 13 minutes and 12 or 13 trains an hour. The airport's figure is the safe one for a connection.
The single is valid for one hour and the last journey must be finished inside it; the train plus a tram across town fits, a long wait does not.
On the way
The stops worth knowing, in riding order, with the minutes from the airport in the operator's own timetable.
Does the SBB train to Zürich HB stop at Zürich Oerlikon?
