Opfikon

The landscape around Opfikon is the flat, intensely built-up floor of the Glatt Valley, which has shaped both the municipality’s compact urban form and its place in Zurich’s service economy. The Glatt River gives the valley its name and runs through this northern edge of the Zurich metropolitan area. Opfikon brings together the older settlement of Opfikon, the transport-oriented district of Glattbrugg and the planned Glattpark quarter. Its proximity to Zurich Airport and rail connections at Glattbrugg has made it a practical base for offices, hotels and commuters rather than a separate historic centre.
