no men allowed


Located in the middle of town, on the left bank of the Limmat River near the Fraumünster church and the Stadthaus, the Frauenbad is a women-only swimming and sunbathing area. By night, it becomes the bar füss bar (not to be confused with the barfüsserbar!) and is open to everyone (including men). The bar is beautifully lit at night, and people can sit on the dock and soak their feet in the river while looking out at the surrounding buildings and churches in the Old Town.

badi enge



Badi Enge, located on the left side of the lake, is another one of the city's many outdoor swiming areas that doubles as a cool bar at night. Usually people are sitting around on the dock, but it had just started pouring when I took this picture, and everyone was scrambling for shelter under the tent.
