You can use a 1-hour ticket (blue button on the ticket machine) or a 24-hour one (green button). Both are valid for all transports inside the Zürich area during the chosen time. The current fare is 4.00 / 8.00 CHF.

... if you are travelling by car

To avoid having to cross the town, is recommended to enter Zürich from the North, following the A1 highway until Zürich-Milchbuck. There, follow the sign "Bucheggplatz". This so called square is basically a large roundabout, that you should leave in direction "Waidspital" (not "City"!). Follow this road all the way up the hill and, at the top, turn right ("ETH" sign).

Nevertheless, be aware that there is practically no parking space on the campus. If you need to travel by car, please contact your host at the Institute beforehand.
