Intro
Winterthur is full of surprises – in many respects. A vibrant city with an industrial past, it has become a real crowd-puller thanks to its inspiring old town and cultural diversity. Winterthur offers an enticing mix of big-city flair and small-town friendliness. Often overlooked in the shadow of Zurich, Winterthur has countless unique locations, unforgettable experiences and activities to offer for the perfect supporting programme.
Description
Art and culture have a long tradition in Winterthur. This is evidenced by the more than 17 museums, for example the Oskar Reinhart Collection ‘Am Römerholz’ or the Kunst Museum Winterthur with masterpieces of European art from the 14th to the 20th century. This tradition continues to thrive in the present day: with the photography centre, which is known far beyond the country's borders, the Casinotheatre, which has become a meeting place for the German-speaking cabaret scene, or the Swiss Science Center Technorama, which brings technology and science to life. Whether film, music, design, art or culture – Winterthur's festival calendar also delights in ‘Winti’.
Sustainability
For event planners, Winterthur is a dream come true. The city and surrounding region not only offer a variety of unique venues and accommodation, but also a picturesque recreational area – perfect for an entertaining supporting programme in the countryside. Whether it's golfing through the old town, a flight in the unique wind tunnel or tasting beer, chocolate, wine or whiskey – the focus is on the experience. If regionality and sustainability are important to you, then Winterthur is the place for you. Where else but in Switzerland's greenest and most bike-friendly city can you plan an event with a green footprint?
