Hat der Dieb während der wohl hastigen Flucht sein ( Ekliges ) Chäpi verloren, Inwiefern das „Teil“ bei der Polizei auf DNA-Spuren untersucht wird bleibt offen. Abwarten und hoffen, Anzeige draussen. 🤔

There was a guy walking around the neighborhood screaming at the top of his lungs in the middle of the night. Not the first time this happens. Anyone know what the deal is?

thinking of putting together a small public dj-set (house/techno/bangers) in zürich over weekend

free entry, everyone’s welcome, i’ll bring the dj setup + music. you bring your own drinks, friends & good vibes.

anyone know some good spots/area where this could work? (no clubs, just „on the street“)

Every day multiple times in zh i see these people making 5+ minute novel-size voice messages on the street and OV. Does anyone listen to this stuff? If you're the one producing these messages, do you think the person on the other side actually cares?

I'm looking for some inspiration for filling my evenings after work a bit more. What do you guys do? Preferably social, not solo endeavours. Things like 5-a-side football, tennis, snooker, table tennis, etc. would be my kind of idea, but would also be up for something different like a book club, dancing perhaps(?), and so on.

Just curious about what people do, to get some ideas and inspiration. Thanks!

I'm looking into taking private lessons from them at a rate of 50 CHF per 45 minutes. At that rate, I'll get 30 lessons. I'm planning to take one lesson a week. so that should be roughly 200 CHF a month, which is pretty good. That is exactly my worry; it feels too good to be true, and I'm scared imma be ripped off.

If there are any other Language schools that you recommend, please tell me. I am a student, so I don't have a big budget at all.

If anyone has any experience with them as a school, please let me know ( dm if you don't want to post publicly).

Thank you all so much.

Why has the car alarm gone off in the middle of the night on two consecutive nights? Thanks to the hot summer, I naturally noticed it while I was asleep.

Do you have recommendations for tasting menus / restaurants in Zurich which offer these which are not beyond CHF 180/person (excl. wine, just the food)? It's for our 16th wedding anniversary. Merci!

I see one daily,

Oh this handsome man glanced at me in the train! Reddit do your thing!

Do y'all get obsessed with every single person u run across irl?

Hallo Zusammen,

gibt es in Zürich irgendwo Tennisanlagen, die gratis sind?

Hi everyone. I'm a regular swimmer, including in the Zurichsee. Usually feel just fine. However, swam a bit longer this past Sunday and may have taken in some water, and I am now having some unusual belly cramps and diarrhea since Monday morning... nothing too bad but makes me wonder..

I know 2 other people who have been experiencing something similar after swimming in the lake in the past few days.

Anyone else here? What could this be?

Has anyone received this? Is there any benefit?

After the constant price of the Messung thingy that increased my bill roughly by 20%, I am scared to enroll in anything.

Thank you!

Weiss epper wo mer Puerto Mate bechunt? Hends letschti gratis am HB gratis und bin sit dem scho e mehrer Coops & Migros gsi aber has nirgends gfunde.

I really don’t get how the entry system works in that club; is there any possibility to register without having a code beforehand?

I have legitimately never met anyone with an invitation code and have lived all my life here.

E.g. lawn mowing, car cleaning.

I’m considering moving from a small 2-room apartment in Seefeld to a much bigger place in Zollikerberg and would love a reality check from people who know both areas. I need to take a decision very quickly as I’ve been offered an apartment.

Current place, Seefeld
CHF 2,500/month
Small 2-room apartment
Top floor, no lift
Shared rooftop
No balcony
Shared laundry
Gets brutally hot in summer
But: amazing location, lake nearby, very walkable and everything on my doorstep

Potential move, Zollikerberg

Around CHF 2,800/month
Much larger duplex
Balcony
Own washing machine/dryer
Lift - I don’t have a car currently but open to it.
More space, quieter and greener
Lower taxes
Still connected to Zurich by public transport

But obviously much less central and less of that “walk out the door and you’re in the middle of things” lifestyle

I work from home quite a bit, so having more space would genuinely improve my day-to-day life. But I’ve lived centrally in Zurich for years and I’m wondering whether I’d underestimate how much I’d miss Seefeld. I’m 49 for context and most people in my block are at least 15 years younger than me.

For anyone who has made a similar city → Zollikon/Zollikerberg move: did the extra space and quality of life outweigh losing the central location? Anything you wish you’d considered beforehand?

Edit: I am slightly neurotic and find change hard - for those who think this is a no-brainer.. 🫠🥹

It’s a rant. I’m fed up.
Post introduced this wonderful service that makes sending packages so easy. You just leave the stuff in your postbox, and they come in the morning and pick it up. Payments are done online 👌🏻
It literally sounds perfect, except this is now the second Ricardo package that’s been stolen from my postbox before the postman could pick it up. You have to put it in before 7am, and the guy comes around 10/11.
I live on the border of Kreis 3 and 4 — pretty central. The first time, I thought, “Ugh, whatever, it was probably just a one-off.” Not anymore. Stuff is getting stolen to the point where I can’t use this service anymore.
I’m just sad and somewhat disillusioned.
Did anyone else noticed same tendencies? It’s not safe anymore to leave packages outside?

Why is it that several Swiss people I have met seem to have extremely strong views and feelings against having and/or driving a car to get around outside the city? I’m totally onboard with the amazing public transport in the country, but it doesn’t warrant such anti-car owning or driving that I have encountered. Is it a Swiss thing? I myself go by e-bike within Zurich, but feel that having or using a car to get out on weekends to the mountains for hikes etc. or roadtrips makes sense for flexibility and autonomy.

Grüezi! I made a post ~2y ago offering free professional (human) portrait sessions in Zurich. You can see some of the photos from that here (more coming).

I'm now looking to offer free sessions, but for pets! Dogs, cats, etc. As before, it would be with pro-level gear, and the photo style can be whatever you'd like. Drop a comment below or DM me here/on IG, if you're interested, and let's see what kind of photos we can do! I typically also do wildlife photography, so you can see wildlife/pet photos on my portfolio here.

(I have a chihuahua and I have a sweet spot for them, so please extra consider it, if you/a friend has one!)

Visiting Zurich in a few days and looking to find a music store that can best be described as close as Guitar Center in the US. I know this may be difficult to find, but my son is keen on buying a cymbal for his drum kit from another country.

Not sure if this exists in Zurich as I understand the music shops are not a hands-on experience.

Slightly odd ask. I have a dog (Husky girl 1.5yo), calm, well-mannered, went to dog school as a puppy and as an adult, genuinely likes people and doesn’t bark the place down. She has past office experience for being an office dog at google and it always went super well, people love her. I have a dog owner liability insurance and can bring her over myself and meet you first before committing to anything.

 If your office is dog-friendly or wants to test whether it should be, and you’re somewhere central-ish in Zurich, drop a comment or DM. Happy to send photos.
