Although prostitution is legal in Switzerland , a sex drive-in has opened in Zurich
For several years, some areas right in the heart of the town, most notably Sihlquai - a street running away from the main station - have been home to a very lively sex trade.
The nine "sex boxes", which are hidden behind a high fence, will be available for prostitutes and their clients from Monday onwards.
Just a small sign displaying opening hours and a red umbrella icon to designate a regulated sex work area mark the site in a former industrial zone in the west of the city.
There are clearly defined rules. Clients must be older than 18, one to a car, and condoms must be disposed of immediately after use in the bins provided.
The facility which opens Monday; inside the gates, which are manned by security guards, there is a "strip" which men can drive down, and select the woman of their choice.
Each box has an alarm bell to keep the prostitutes safe.
