Visitor information

In early 2016, the Schulthess Klinik launched an art commission with the aim of building up an innovative collection of art to display at the clinic. The diversity of the different works of art gives the clinic a unique atmosphere and a distinctive character. It can and aims to stimulate discussion and provide pause for thought. Why not take a tour around our clinic and be inspired by the variety of works we have on display?

In order to drive forward e-mobility, we have worked together with Energie 360° to set up two public charging stations for electric vehicles. The green-marked parking spaces are located directly next to the entrance on the right-hand side. To make charging as convenient as possible, the charging stations are operated with the user-friendly charging service from Energie 360°. Find out more: laden.energie360.ch

Our members of staff can look after your flowers, if needed. Cut flowers make for an inviting atmosphere in your hospital room – potted plants, on the other hand, can carry germs and are therefore not allowed in the clinic. Please note that flowers are not permitted in Intermediate Care (IMC; post-operative recovery room).

Due to the limited number of parking spaces available, we recommend that you use public transport: tram no. 11 or Forchbahn S 18 to Balgrist stop.

However, if you do come by car, you can park it in the multi-storey car park for a fee. Please note that our car park has a maximum height limit of 2 m.

Construction site: The new children's hospital in Zurich Lengg is set to be completed by autumn 2024. Access to the clinic and the underground car park is possible at all times.

The health of our patients and staff is important to us. That is why the Schulthess Klinik is a non-smoking zone. The smoking ban also applies to the entrance areas of the clinic. For patients who are mobile enough to leave their rooms, there is a smoking room on the third floor.

Our visiting hours are as follows:

Patients with general insurance cover:
Between 2.00 pm and 9.00 pm every day

Semi-private patients:
Between 10.00 am and 9.00 pm every day

Private patients:

No more than one visitor per patient is permitted in multi-bed rooms and no more than two visitors per patient in single rooms. The duration of the visits must be limited to a maximum of one hour.

Unfortunately, visitors to Intermediate Care (IMC) and the Outpatient Treatment Centre (BZ) are not permitted.
