Workation in Winterthur: the essentials

Factories built Winterthur, and their halls are now its best feature. The Sulzer engineering site beside the station has been turned into flats, bars, a branch of the Zurich University of Applied Sciences and coworking space. With more than 120,000 residents this is Switzerland's sixth-largest city, about 20 minutes by train from Zurich, and its art collections are out of proportion to its size, from the Oskar Reinhart collection Am Römerholz to the Fotomuseum. The old town is car-free and the Technorama science centre draws families. There is no lake and nightlife is quieter than Zurich's, though the Afro-Pfingsten festival fills the streets around Pentecost. Zurich Airport is about 14 km away.
