Splash & Soothe

Anything water, calm, and chill. Float a river, soak in thermal baths, hop on a lake cruise, or try quirky water-side hobbies—it’s all about cooling down and unwinding.

Limmat River “Letten Float”

The most “Zurich” way to cool off in summer: go to the free Letten river baths along the Limmat, float with the current, or lounge on the wooden decks. Upstream, Oberer Letten has a ~400 m swim corridor and diving boards; downstream, Unterer Letten keeps its classic timber look and quieter corners. Prefer the lake? Head to Seebad Enge for sunset.

Hürlimannbad & Spa Zürich

Soak beneath century-old stone vaults of the former brewery, then head to the rooftop infinity pool overlooking the city. If you’ve got time, try the Roman-Irish spa ritual for a deeper unwind.

Zurich Lake Cruise

Take round trip cruises on Lake Zurich. Sit on deck to chat while watching hills and lakeside neighborhoods roll by. There are also unique topic cruises like the cheese fondue cruise, the brunch cruise, the halloween party cruise, etc. Enjoy your time on a wonderful trip and meet new people!

Limmat Magnet Fishing

Forget traditional fishing. Armed with a strong magnet and rope, 'fish' the Limmat River or Lake Zurich for metal treasures. You might pull up old coins, bicycle parts, or perhaps a forgotten relic.

Zurich's 1200 Fountains Sommelier

Zurich boasts 1200 fountains, most offering pristine drinking water. Your mission: become a water sommelier. 'Taste' and review as many as you can, noting their 'terroir,' flow, and design. (Avoid any marked 'Kein Trinkwasser').
