Urban swimming area

This swimming area is a must if you visit Zürich and you like to chill out at urban spots where young and old meets each other for swimming in the river or just sunbathing and relaxing.

Flussbad Oberer Letten

On hot summer days, water lovers can cool off by taking a dip in the River Limmat in the very heart of Zurich. The Oberer Letten riverside bathing facility is a popular meeting place, and features a 400 meter (1,312 ft) long swimming channel and a 2 meter (6.5 ft) high diving platform. There are also two beach volleyball courts and an area for playing boule on the opposite side of the river. Those who prefer to take it easy can sunbathe on one of the sun terraces with a book from the book boxes provided by the Bühl Foundation. Very close there is also the restaurant and bar Panama selling snacks and refreshing drinks.

Hive

If you like electronic music, you must visit this club. But sometimes it is not easy to get in. Do not wear elegant clothes, the more relaxed you appear the better the chances you will have to pass the bouncers and the entry.

Langstrasse

The lower part of Longstreet is a urban party area with lots of bars. It is worth to visit it. On weekends it is full of people.

Sehenswürdigkeiten

Zoo Zurich

The animals at Zoo Zurich live in different exhibits designed to mimic nature. My recommendation: visit the Masoala Halle (Rainforest) in Zoo Zurich.

Central Polybahn station

Initially the service was powered by water-weights, like that of Berne and still today in Freiburg, although in Zurich the service was soon to be powered by electricity. In1976, saved on the last bell thanks to the support of a Swiss bank, the historic Polybahn was subject to comprehensive revision back in 1996. Today it’s fitted with state-of-the-art technics - and the mountain station boasts the same original red colour of its original beginnings since 2001. Altitude: 452m Accessibility: From Zurich’s main train station on foot over the Limmat bridge to Central, funicular rail to the Polyterrasse ETH View: Over the lake and city of Zurich and across to the Glärnisch, Tödi, Clariden, Albis chain and the Üetliberg Attractions: The little railway is a great attraction - carrying over two million passengers each year! Culinary aspects: No-end of special restaurants in the neighbouring Niederdorf area NO SERVICE ON SUNDAYS

Gastro-Szene

Frau Gerolds Garten

A fastastic spot to enjoy beers and local food. It is a big square with an urban touch. Mostly used for afterwork beer, but also crowded on the weekends. There are also little stores on the squere. A must visit spot.
