Zurich Museums Night (Die lange Nacht der Zürcher Museen) takes place on 7th of September. That’s a great opportunity to visit different museums, cultural events, art galleries, parks and the Zoo.
Once a year during one night, most of the museums in Zurich invite visitors for a special event. It’s completely different feeling to see exhibitions after sunset. I’ve been in some of them during the day time, but the same museums at night – it is an exciting and memorable experience!
The organisation of the event is very efficient. The public transport operator – VBZ, organises museum bus-shuttles, that run between museums, making your night relaxing and joyful. In addition, many places offer delicious food and drinks, organise guided tours, workshops and music programs.
Good to know:
- Working hours: 7th of September, 2019, from 18:00 until 2:00.

I think it’s an excellent event and a great tradition to gather together with friends after summer holidays. It’s also fun, yet educational activity for families with kids.
