Traveler reviews
Antoine Baudoux
★★★★★4 years agoOne of the most colorful places in Zurich: people of all sorts gather at the river for drinking, swimming, sunbathing, playing... in a relaxed atmosphere. Definitely worth visiting, especially in spring/summer
Becca B
★★★★★2 years agoAbsolutely loved it here. The water was insanely clear and the bridge is so much fun to jump off (if you can swim against the current to get up there!) The Flussbad facilities were amazing. Free, clean, with lockers and hairdryers available. Very secure to keep belongings. Sun loungers and diving boards for the summer. Lifeguards were nearby so felt safe. Can't rate this place highly enough.
