November 11 at 3pm
Kino Filmpodium · Zürich
Isabelle Huppert burns cold as a repressed piano teacher unraveling in Haneke's brutal, brilliant Jelinek adaptation. Schubert, sadism, and bourgeois suffocation: not a comfortable watch, an unforgettable one.
November 11 at 3pm
Kino Filmpodium · Zürich
Isabelle Huppert is unforgettable in Michael Haneke's glacial adaptation of Elfriede Jelinek's novel: a piano teacher's tightly wound life with her domineering mother unravels into obsession and cruelty, all set to aching Schubert.
Every day at 7am from Oct. 5 to Jan. 9
St. Peter · Zürich
Crack a legendary watchmaker's final code on this self-guided smartphone rally through Zurich's old town: part scavenger hunt, part outdoor escape room. Race rival teams in battle mode or sleuth together at your own pace.
November 11 at 9am +1
Fly & Race Simulations GmbH · Zürich • CHF 209
Strap into a cockpit built to exact F/A-18 specs and take the controls of a fighter jet. The 360° VR visuals wrap around you while real pilots coach every barrel roll and landing.
Every day at 8am from Sep. 13 to Jan. 3
Stadtgärtnerei - Zentrum für Pflanzen und Bildung · Zürich
Explore how cities can keep nature alive through this hands-on exhibition at a lush greenhouse oasis. A bumblebee "city guide" leads you through habitats for hedgehogs, dragonflies, and wild plants you never knew were neighbors.
Wed, Nov 11 · 9:00 AM
Johanneskirche · Zürich
A giant chain stitched from hundreds of donated stuffed animals drapes a Zurich church, turning childhood plush into a meditation on belonging, waste, and letting go.
Every day at 9am from Oct. 13 to Feb. 21
Kunsthaus Zürich · Zürich • CHF31
Two painters who turned the body into a battlefield, finally face to face. Lassnig's raw self-perception meets Munch's existential ache across 150 works, with the Kunsthaus's peerless Munch holdings anchoring the dialogue.
Every day at 10am from Oct. 2 to May 30
Museum Rietberg · Zürich • CHF18
An 18th-century Indian master gets his due. Nikka of Guler painted princely portraits and vivid scenes from myth and literature, and new research finally sharpens the picture of this long-overlooked artist.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
