Die Lange Nacht der Museen – Long Night of the Museums in Zurich
When: 4th September 2021
For all you culture vultures, art fiends and museum visitors it’s good to know that on the first Saturday of September every year there is a very special event in Zurich – the Long Night of the Museums. It event starts at 6pm and it continues till 2am! There is a plethora of museums and art galleries available for you to feast your eyes upon all evening long. This year the date for “Die Lange Nacht der Museen” is 4th September 2021.
Museums and Transport
There will be so many museums to choose from and one ticket will get you into as many as you can book! Why not use the opportunity to visit some of the more unusual museums that you’ve been dying to see but not yet got round to? In addition there will be Museum shuttle buses and trams to ferry you from one museum to another. There is even an option to take the boat!

You can only buy the special Kombi tickets (which allow you access to all the museums and also include free travel in Zurich zone 110) online this year.
Tickets cost CHF 25 for adults. Accompanied children under the age of 16 are free. For more information (in German) please visit the Lange Nacht website.

Do note that some museums have a limited capacity so you may want to visit the smaller ones first – or the ones that you most want to visit in order to avoid disappointment. Also don’t underestimate the time it takes to visit each museum and to get to the next one – so try and plan in your visits in a logical way!
