Yes, the grey and cold are back. We also wonder where lovely misses spring has gone. But, nevertheless, there are still plenty of things to do in Zurich on a rainy day:

Buy a thick book (read our suggestions for book shops) and spend the day reading in a cosy coffee place like Casablanca, Plüsch or Dihei.

Visit one of Zurichs many museums. Our favorites are Rietberg, Bellerive and the Museum of Design. Or chose one from the complete list Zurich Tourism made.

Brave the elements with dolce far niente: Visit the lunch cinema and treat yourself with a visit at one of Zurichs spas afterwards.

Since 1998, the Abart club essentially characterised Zurichs music and club scene. But unfortunately, it was recently closed down. Lucky us, it will somehow remain preserved through a book: “Abart – das Buch” tells us the story about 15 years of music history. Thank you Abart, it was awesome with you!

The book was financed through the crowdfunding platform we make it. Order it at Salis Verlag and remember the good old Abart times!

What’s happening there now?
The existing building is to be demolished in about two years. Until then, a thrift shop is fulfilling every bargain hunters dream.
