Niederdorf, on the east bank is where the beautiful university is located, as well as the twin towers of the Grossmunster. It has also many shops and cafés.

Zurich has a very efficient public transport system. The network includes trams, buses, S-Bahn (local trains) and boats.

The 'S-Bahn' (suburban rail) is the regional rail system, used mostly by commuters but also a good way to get to various destinations outside the city centre.

There are two types of boat-based public transportation operated in Zurich: river buses and lake steamers.
