Blickfang – the design exhibition for interior, fashion and jewellery is all about discovering and browsing. Over 200 designer exhibit their unique and innovative products apart from mass goods and mass production.

At Blickfang, you’ll definitely find inspiration for your own creative work. Plus it’s a nice opportunity to buy Christmas presents – or a treat to yourself.

myfriendfromzurich is especially recommends stopping at the booths of Besessen & Erleuchtet (bits and bobs), ecodesign home (furniture) and Elfe11 (fashion).

Blickfang Zurich, 23.-25. November, Kongresshaus. 

Hmm… interesting request. But no judging, so here we are: For mainstream movies check Kitag. Riffraff has a good agenda of independent movies, Xenix and Uto (the oldest cinema in town) special reprises.

Riffraff and Xenix are nice places for a beer or a quick bite too – you’re even allowed to bring your drinks into the cinema hall.

For those of you on a budget: In Zurich, Monday night is cinema night! Tickets are available for 13 Swiss Francs only – a bargain!

Our favourite and one of the most important theatres in the German-speaking world is the Schauspielhaus Zürich. At Pfauen, they perform more traditional and well-known classics whilst at their other venue Schiffbau, you can enjoy rather new and debut performances.

The Theater Neumarkt in the historic quarters of Zurich is a modern playhouse performing relevant plays with a strong potential to surprise and enthrall the audience.

For lovers of modern-dance, experimental plays and genre-independent comprehensive projects, Theater Gessnerallee is the place to be.

And last but not least, Miller’s Studio at the mill Tiefenbrunnen offers the most entertaining theatre sports evenings.

Regarding fashion, clothes ands style, the lovely girls from Zurich based fashion blog Hopehope are definitely the ones to consult.
