When you reach the greater Zurich area, follow the signs

a tunnel, take the first exit off to the right. At the red light
take a right. Shortly thereafter you will see a brown sign towards
the Museum Rietberg which will direct you to the left. Pass the
Tessinerplatz (square with the Enge train station) and continue on
Seestrasse along the tram tracks, pass through the tram stop “
Museum Rietberg” and continue for another 50 m. Take a right at the
Restaurant Da Carlo and continue up the cobblestone path to the top
of the Gablerstrasse. The entrance is to your left.

When nearing the end of the highway, stay in the right lane
and follow signs towards “Universitaetsspital / Irchel / City”. Do
not go through the tunnel. For the next 5 km, keep going straight
at each light, passing the Hospital and University, down
Raemistrasse to the Bellevue (where the lake meets the river
Limmat). Cross the bridge, keep going straight along the lake until
you reach the Tessinerplatz (square with the Enge train station).
Turn left onto Seestrasse, follow it for about 400 m, pass the tram
stop “Museum Rietberg” and continue for another 50 m. Take a right
at the Restaurant Da Carlo and continue up the cobblestone path to
the top of Gablerstrasse. The entrance is to your left.
Highway from Chur
At the end of the highway, take the "Brunau" exit and follow
the Museum Rietberg signs. This will take you up a hill on
Brunaustrasse and down the other side to Seestrasse, where another
Museum Rietberg sign directs you to the left. About 100 m after the
BMW garage, take a left at the Restaurant Da Carlo and continue up
the cobblestone path to the top of the Gablerstrasse. The entrance
