Location
Zollikon, a completely intact village and the very first town on the right banks of Lake Zurich, has over 12,000 inhabitants. It seamlessly borders the City of Zurich. To this day, Zollikon has preserved its historic complexion by rigorously preserving its beautiful old village center. The Zollikerberg (first stop after the Rehalp end station on Tram Line 11) is also part of Zollikon.
Public transportation
A few minutes with the S-Bahn, the Forchbahn, the tram regional bus, or the ferry will take you to Zurich City. Just 23 minutes on the S-Bahn will get you to Zurich airport. Shopping Zollikon may be calm and peaceful, but it is well serviced thanks to the Migros, retail shops, postal services, beauty salons and hair stylists, physicians, and dentists.
Schools
The municipality has organized play groups for children, nurseries, child daycare services, six kindergartens, two primary schools and a secondary school.
