Zürich


The old variety hall ‘Corso’ has been revamped into one of Zürich's most popular clubs, with huge windows facing Sechseläutenplatz and the lake. A jam-packed calendar of events keeps things hopping all week; 'Cool Mondays' are a perennial favourite, featuring house, hip-hop, electropop, nu-disco and indie dance with no cover charge.
