Circle tour –fascinating architecture

On this one-and-a-half-hour group tour of the Circle, participants are accompanied by an experienced tour guide who will be happy to answer any questions.

On a surface area of 30,000 square metres, the Circle provides 180,000 square metres of space for utilisation by retail and services, in close proximity to the terminals at Zurich Airport. The investment volume amounts to one billion Swiss francs. On this tour, visitors are provided with a glimpse behind the scenes of this fascinating structure.

The tour begins in the main square. The tour guide will lead the group to the north square via the new headquarters of Flughafen Zürich AG. We suggest to visit the sky platform in the Park after the tour to enjoy a beautiful panoramic view. Your Tour Guide will explain how to get there.

The group will then continue on to the Circle's south square, where they will hear interesting information about the logistics supply to the building and take a look at the delivery tunnel and bays.  There will be more technical details and a visit to the technical hub, including information about the building services and the structure’s LEED® PLATINUM standard.

The tour ends back at the main square. Alternately, if the option with aperitif is chosen, the tour guide will accompany the group to the Iris Bar at the Hyatt Regency.

All tour guides have extensive knowledge of the Circle and the park and will be able to answer visitors’ questions competently.
