If you fancy the fun of Oktoberfest but can’t stomach the cost of travel to Munich then maybe this is for you. Turbinenbräu are running their very own Urbanes Oktoberfest .

Thurs 6pm - 12th Oct, Turbinenbräu, Badenerstrasse 571, 8048

It’s the 26th Art International Zurich exhibition this weekend, and from Friday until Sunday, the Kongresshaus is home to some fantastic contemporary art.

Fri 12pm & Sat, Sun, Kongresshaus Zurich, Claridenstrasse 5, 8002
