Shopping around Langstrasse
Shopping in Zurich is not just Bahnhofstrasse and the
old town. There are other districts which are well worth
a visit for shoppers - especially if you are hunting for
some cool clothes and accessories and would like a
break from the big global brands. The area around the
southern end of Langstrasse in district n°4 (aka Chreis
Cheib) definitely is such an area. Every few steps you
come across another enticing little shop on Langstrasse
or in the side streets. Generally it’s less glittery and
glamourous here than on Bahnhofstrasse, but much
more urban and cosmopolitan with many young, Swiss
labels. We list some of our favourites below.
