MINIMUM Zurich

On top of things – climbing hall

"MINIMUM is a cozy boulder hall with 100m² of routes for all skill levels. Rent climbing shoes and start climbing. As a reward, enjoy their homemade food!"

MINIMUM is one of my favorite places to escape from the rain. In this boulder hall, 1000 square meters of artificial rock await to be conquered with your bare hands. You are always at jump height, so no ropes are needed. The only equipment necessary is climbing shoes, which you can rent when you get your ticket. There are different routes and difficulty levels. No matter your climbing experience, there’s always a sense of achievement when you reach the top. The welcoming atmosphere and helpful staff make it a great spot for anyone curious to try bouldering for the first time.

After the mental challenge and physical activity, I love grabbing a bite at the restaurant or the beer garden to fuel up. It's super cozy, and the homemade soul food is finger-licking good...

Nice to know: MINIMUM has a second branch in Oerlikon (Leutschenbachstrasse 44, 8050 Zürich).

Jazzraum

Mehrspur Tuesday jam

The jazz jam session takes place in a small space, which can't fit more than 40 people, and this gives me the impression of experiencing a private concert.

Stadtgärtnerei

A lush spot in the city

The outside area is also worth a visit. You'll find a beautiful collection of palms and agave in a sandy environment crossed by a water basin with fishes.
