The course is 2.46 kilometers long. Start/finish is at Mythenquai. In the Allianz-E-Village there are zones for recreation and for children, information and interesting facts about e-mobility.

The Formula E course runs through Zurich's Enge district, measures 2.46 kilometers, and has eleven curves. The start/finish is on Mythenquai opposite the Enge harbor at the entrance to the parking lot.

Afterwards turn right into General-Guisan-Quai, then left into Stockerstrasse, left again into Dreikönigstrasse and left again into Genferstrasse, at Gotthardstrasse turn right again until Alfred-Escher-Strasse, then turn left and straight back almost to the succulent collection, at the top of which it goes back into Mythenquai to the start/finish.

Free spectator seats are available in the fan zones
Tips for spectators The grandstand seats are all sold out. The free spectator areas are called fan zones and are located along Alfred-Escher-Strasse between Rentenanstalt and Belvoir-Park, along Genferstrasse, in the upper part of Stockerstrasse to the corner of Dreikönigstrasse and after the start/finish on Mythenquai to the corner of General-Guisan-Quai.

The largest free fan zone is the Allianz-E-Village with various activities and information booths, which practically stretches from the Arboretum and the park at Seebad Enge along the shore to the Zurich Yacht Club.
