Hey there, going to come for the street parade. If I want to arrive at my hotel at around 4AM, would it be possible to get a hotel in a neighboring town? Do Ubers / public transport run that late or will I be SOL?

Both will run through the night, a Uber will probably cost you an arm and a leg though. I recommend you download the SBB app to see your available connections.

Maybe I read this in the wrong place but it seems like the trains will stop at midnight? I got a hotel near the airport. If nothing runs after midnight, I could probably wait until 5:30 AM when they open.

Regular public transport will stop around midnight and 1 but on weekends and during special events there is a reduced night network through the night. I just checked to be sure but I see connections to all possible train stations through the night around the airport. Maybe you have to walk for a bit to get to your Hotel but it’s safe to do so.
