Good to know
Things that you need to know before coming to the event.
General Information
MWC’s “The Courage to Love” event will happen in the old city of Zürich. All locations are within walking distance from each other and from the main train station. Please arrive no later than 10:30 am to participate in the events, which will start at 11:00.
The MWC Café at the Helferei is the community hub, where you can buy a small meal, a cup of coffee or eat your own packed lunch while meeting others who came to Zürich to remember 500 years of Anabaptism. The MWC Café will also include an exhibit commemorating the 100th anniversary of MWC.
Since 29 May is a public holiday, many of the stores in the city centre will be closed, but most restaurants will remain open. Stores close to the train station will likely also be open.

Most meeting places are wheel-chair accessible except for the Friedenskirche, where access includes a set of stairs.
Washrooms
Washrooms can be found at various event locations.
