Lonely Planet review

Planes, trains and automobiles are showcased in the huge, family-oriented Verkehrshaus. They are found alongside space rockets, flight simulators and other interactive exhibits designed to bring out your inner child (or inner bully if you're one of the occasionally over-eager adults). Switzerland's most popular museum also has a planetarium, a giant-screen IMAX cinema and the Swiss Arena - an eye-catching floor map of Switzerland and accompanying geographical puzzle.

There's a collection of technology-related paintings, drawings and sculptures by Swiss artist Hans Erni.Finally, in good weather, a permanently moored hot-air balloon, the Hi-Flyer, will take you up 120m above the complex (call 041 370 20 20 after noon daily for details). Take bus No 6, 8 or 24 to get here.
