Zürich Car Show
You might normally associate Geneva, rather than it’s Germanic sibling, with Motor Shows.
Rightly so, and the exhibition in Feb/March of each year is worth a trip in itself, with new models from major manufacturers often being announced there.
But Zurich doesn’t like to be left out of anything in Switzerland so we have a car show too.
It’s more of a series of stands by the local dealers, but is still highly entertaining. And useful if you happen to be looking for a new car. Maybe not too likely in the current economic climate but who knows? And at least you can still window-shop, and without having to leave grubby paw-prints on the glass as you can get right up close.
For me, the highlight is the motorsport section of the show, with F1, Rally and Saloon Cars all there.
Last time I went there was a simulator, worth it just for that.
The show runs this year from Thurs November 13 until Sunday 16th. If you want to see how politically correct the Swiss are, turn up on Saturday after lunch to witness the Miss Auto Zürich beauty contest.
Entry is CHF 17, The show is open from 10:00 to 21:00; 19:00 on Sunday.
It’s at the Messe in Oerlikon (where else?) www.auto-zuerich.ch for details.
