Apart the city center and the river, an interesting place to visit is the museum of military aviation, storing not just various military planes, but also interesting demonstration material (for instance, how the helicopter steering systems are arranged).

Transport

Dübendorf is served by both rail and bus links with the Zurich center (10 min), Winterthur (via Stettbach, 20 min) and other places in the canton of Zurich.
