Sunday offers a bit of a treat, as Scottish singer-songwriter Cara Rose is set to fill the Papiersaal with her haunting voice and evocative songwriting. Cara has had a busy 2025, with a series of sold-out shows at the prestigious Zermatt Unplugged festival as well as a performance at the Winterthurer Musikfestwochen. Somehow she also found time to release a new EP in November last year. Grab your tickets now, before she ends up playing the Hallenstadion.

Sunday 7pm, Papiersaal, Alte Sihlpapierfabrik, Kalanderplatz 6, 8045

Time for a new pop-up? Of course! The Clubhouse pop-up will showcase small and independent producers of jewellery, candles, furniture, vintage clothes and knitwear, to name just a few. The pop-up opens this Monday with an apéro and will cater to your shopping needs for the next three weeks. DM them for the guest list. But that’s not all. If you’re feeling thirsty or a bit peckish while you browse over the next few weeks, they’ll be serving coffee, matcha and even a croissant or two.

Monday 6pm, Clubhouse Pop-Up, Molkenstrasse 21, 8004

If you’ve lived in Switzerland for a while, you’ve probably heard the word «Fasnacht». But have you experienced it? It’s easy to conflate Carnival and Fasnacht, and while they both happen at similar times of year, they are not exactly the same. Carnival is the celebration before Lent, whereas Fasnacht is more of a moveable feast, celebrating the warding off of pesky winter spirits and welcoming in the spring.

Here are five fun facts about the most famous Fasnacht celebration—Basel—and five places you can enjoy this uniquely Swiss event.

Street art and murals have the power to brighten our towns and cities with positive messages, striking imagery and, in the case of artists like Banksy, withering social commentary. As an art lover and an international man of mystery, I love street art and murals, but where can I find them?

Fortunately, I stumbled across the website Street Art Cities, a global community documenting street art all over the world. Is Zurich included? Of course it is. But whether you’re exploring your own city or visiting somewhere new, the platform shows locations, previews and, in some cases, a short history of each artwork.

Discovered a new masterpiece that’s not yet recorded? You can snap a photo and add it to the community yourself. The site is also easily accessible via an app on both Google and Apple devices.
