The Modern Museum has two branches. One up on the hill. You can buy combi tickets for the elevator and the museum. The view to the city worth it even if the exhibitions are of mixed quality. The bookshop has great merchandise products.

3 artists nicely displayed in a great building. Lots of places to sit and contemplate along the way. Everything in English and German. A nice looking restaurant with a great terrace and view.
