Winterthur, the Garden City

There is one feature of Winterthur that visitors notice as soon as they arrive – the city boasts a high proportion of green spaces. This makes ‘Winti’ – as the locals affectionately call their hometown – extremely liveable. It also enhances the city’s appeal as an event location. Your seminar or conference attendees will feel immediately at ease in this pleasant environment, making this city the perfect base for your conference or staff event.

There are two main reasons why Winterthur carries the ‘garden city’ moniker. Firstly, on account of the abundance of green spaces, parks and allotments (small urban gardens). There is also a historical context. A new course was set in urban development between the world wars, and urban planner Albert Bodmer drew his inspiration from the English garden cities. This had a transformative effect on the cityscape.
