Situated right in the middle of the Niederdorf, the old part of Zurich, the "City Backpacker" is exactly what it claims to be: the place to stay for young people. There are cheap rooms, kitchen facilities, common rooms, an internet station and a washing machine and dryer in the house. And with dormitories all starting from a low price what more does the traveler on a budget need?

The Jugendherberge Zürich is in a somewhat remote part of the idyllic, peaceful surrounds of Wollishofen, approximately 800m from Zurich-Wollishofen station. The hostel is a central meeting point for local and international travelers, particularly backpackers. The hostel is modern and spaciously designed. There is a 24hr 'Hot & Cold' snack bar, a full breakfast buffet, big screen TV, waiting room, lounge room (Cheminéezimmer), washing machines and dryers, a bike rack, table tennis and table football. Two conference rooms and a hall holding up to 200 persons are also available.
