A new district has been created in the heart of Zurich. Europaallee connects Circle 1 with the world-famous Bahnhofstrasse and the vibrant Circles 4 and 5. Embossed by modern, urban architecture and a generously designed public space, a district with a high quality of stay has been created. 1800 study places at the teacher training college, over 6000 jobs, 400 apartments, a wide range of retail and catering outlets and leisure facilities make Europaallee, with its squares and attractive surroundings, a new, lively part of Zurich. Thanks to its central situation right next to Zurich's main railway station, Europaallee is connected by railway to the whole of Switzerland and the most important European cities, as well as to the whole world via the airport.
