Traveler reviews
Romain S
★★★★★Edited 2 months agoGreat chill out place in Zurich (strong part of the local culture), together with Seebad Mythenquai. Nothing luxury about it but very chilled, simple place over the lake, clean showers and toilets, great foods and drinks at the bar all day long. Strongly recommend to come before 10am during weekends to be able to find a space.
Volodymyr Khodonovych
★★★★★a month agoSuper cool place for walking around. People take sunbathe, walking with their family and friends. Nice parks with green trees and nature. There is big parking near by
