Schiffbau
Symbolic of the renaissance of once-industrial western Zürich is the Schiffbau. Once a mighty factory churning out lake steamers and, until 1992, turbine-engine parts, this enormous shell has been turned (at considerable cost) into the seat of the Schauspielhaus, a huge theatre, with three stages. It is worth just having a look inside. It is also home to a stylish restaurant (LaSalle), upstairs bar (Nietturm) and jazz den (Moods, see Live Music above).

Le Corbusier Pavilion & Heidi Weber Museum
The Le Corbusier Pavilion & Heidi Weber museum, the last item designed by the iconoclastic Swiss-born (naturalised French) architect, looks like a Mondrian painting set in parkland. Completed after his death, it contains many of his architectural drawings, paintings, furniture and books – collected by fan and friend Heidi Weber.

Karlsturm
The firebrand preacher from the boondocks, Huldrych Zwingli (1484–1531), began speaking out against the Catholic Church here in the 16th century, and thus brought the Reformation to Zürich. You can climb the southern tower, the Karlsturm.
