  If you stay 5 days and / or close by the Irchel campus, we recommend getting single "day pass tickets" on demand.

<h3>Taxis</h3>
<p>
  Taxis are quite expensive.
  Expect to pay from CHF 20.&mdash; upwards even for short rides;
  around CHF 40.&mdash; for a trip from the airport to Irchel.
  <br>
  Some companies:
  TAXI444 <a href="tel:+41444444444">(+41 44 444 44 44)</a> or
  7x7 Taxi <a href="tel:+41447777777">(+41 44 777 77 77)</a>.
</p>


<h3>Car</h3>
<p>
  We don't recommend arriving by car in Zurich.
  There is a carpark at Irchel, but expect to pay CHF [parking_duration_in_hours + 1].
  Finding parking spots in the city is only for the brave, but some hotel offer parking places.
