Graffiti instead of settling tanks

A graffiti culture center has been created in a former water treatment plant. You can buy paint, spray walls, or admire the art for free as a guest. Some of the pieces are truly phenomenal.

Train, round tank and shop

Of course there is a graffiti train, live spraying happens in the old round tank, and the shop sells spray cans and Posca markers.

The café

In the small café you can sit, drink and eat, inside or on the terrace.

My verdict

Unique, at least in Zurich. Five stars from me for food, service and ambience.
