In the footsteps of James Joyce

Follow in the footsteps of the literary genius James Joyce

Zurich was a decisive turning point in James Joyce's life, both artistically and financially. It was here that he and Nora began their life together in exile. During the First World War and later again after the outbreak of the Second World War, Zurich became a place of refuge for Joyce. The couple also found their final resting place here.

The Zurich James Joyce Foundation was established in 1985 to keep the memory and work of the Irish writer James Joyce alive for the literary world in general and for Zurich in particular. Joyce spent some of his most important creative years in Zurich, where he also died. Dr. Martin Mühlheim, Managing Director of the James Joyce Foundation, will guide us on a tour of the city and bring Joyce and his work to life.

The tour ends with a visit to the James Joyce Pub for a cold Guinness and a legendary James Joyce burger. Stylish tradition, Irish charm and an unforgettable atmosphere await us.
