About the city: Horgen
Horgen, located on the western shore of Lake Zurich in the canton of Zurich, is a compact and well-connected base for concerts, sporting events and cultural programs in the Zurich area. In Horgen itself, Schinzenhof provides space for various cultural, social and business events, while the proximity of Zurich offers easy access to larger arenas and stadiums. The quieter lakeside atmosphere, restaurants, cafés and varied accommodation options make Horgen a practical choice for visitors who want to combine an event with a more relaxed stay outside central Zurich.
Public transport is organized within the Zürcher Verkehrsverbund (ZVV) network, with Bahnhof Horgen serving as the main local railway point and Horgen Oberdorf providing an additional rail connection. SBB trains and the S-Bahn Zürich system connect Horgen with Zürich Hauptbahnhof (Zürich HB), from where it is easy to continue to the city's arenas, stadiums and other districts of Zurich. Visitors arriving by air can use Flughafen Zürich, which is connected by rail with Zurich and the rest of the regional network. Horgen also has the Zürichsee-Fähre Horgen–Meilen for crossing to the opposite shore of the lake, while local bus connections, including Dorfbus 121, make it easier to travel between the center, railway stations and event areas.
Before or after a concert or sporting event, it is worth walking through the charming Dorfkern and along the shore of Zürichsee, where the lakeside scenery is one of Horgen's main attractions. For an additional excursion, visitors can explore the natural surroundings of Aabachtobel or the area's history associated with Bergwerk Käpfnach. Thanks to the fast rail connection, it is also easy to visit Zurich's Old Town, the banks of the River Limmat and the city's well-known squares before returning to Horgen. This combination of the lake, good transport connections and proximity to a major urban center makes Horgen an attractive base for a trip connected with concerts, sports and other events.
