Where to Shop in Zurich, Switzerland

Zurich may be Switzerland’s powerhouse city, but its infectious work-hard, play-hard energy is refreshingly offset by a love of nature and a healthy embrace of creative freedom.

Freitag

The Swiss are ever loyal to this Nineties phenom, a bag and
accessories brand that repurposes old lorry tarpaulins into totes,
backpacks and messengers. This flagship store sits in a tower of
shipping containers.

On Running

On’s distinctive running shoes have become a go-to among urbane
walkers and serious athletes alike, and Zurich is where they were
born. Before hitting the streets, don a pair of these stylish,
cushioned sneakers; in town, luxury department store Jelmoli stocks an extensive
range.

Turicum

Turicum was the ancient Roman name for Zurich, but there’s
nothing old-school about the city’s very own gin, made from locally
sourced and handpicked botanicals. Pick up a bottle or have a go at
blending your own at the distillery’s Gin Lab.
