The Jules Verne Panoramabar is probably Zurich's most elegant observation tower: cocktails with a view over the city, where the lights twinkle like the sky above the observatory in the same tower. This is where bankers, night owls and lovers come together - and quickly realise that the drinks here can easily keep up with the view.
Above the clouds, cocktail enjoyment must be limitless: on the 25th floor of the Prime Tower, the Clouds Bar offers panoramic views over Zurich, the Limmat and the Alps. Seasonal cocktails, some with the bar's own gin, and fine bar snacks complement the elegant ambience. Perfect for sunset moments over the city.
