Discovering ETH

Whether you are visiting for the first time or returning with fresh questions, ETH tours invite you to explore the university from different perspectives. Join our student guides and experts, step behind the scenes, wander through our campus spaces, dive into breakthrough research, and visit our collections and archives. 

Each tour offers a glimpse into how knowledge is created, shared, and lived — through the people, places, and stories that shape everyday university life. Whether you prefer to listen, look, ask questions, or explore at your own pace, there’s a tour that opens a door for you. Come along and discover what ETH Zurich has to offer, in ways that are as varied as our visitors themselves.
