Special Summer Experiences
The Early Bird Catches the Worm
A summer morning in Zurich is simply magic: start it with a refreshing swim in calm waters or a sunrise on Uetliberg that bathes the city in a golden light. The perfect moment before Zurich wakes up.
Winterthur Celebrates the Summer with Live Music
Every year, the Winterthur Musikfestwochen (music festival weeks) bring first-class live music to the Old Town. From big open-air concerts to smaller shows in the Stadtkirche – the festival delights with varied acts and a unique vibe.
Gourmet Moments in Unique Ambiance
Whether it’s on the elegant rooftop terrace of the Mandarin Oriental Savoy with spectacular view or in the idyllic courtyard of the Marguita – here, enjoyment is celebrated on the highest level.
Cooling Down on Katzensee – the Perfect Tip for Hot Days
Outdoor Summer Gatherings
Whether it’s with a refreshing drink at the cozy Damm Bar or while playing Boccia – these are the places to meet outside, enjoy balmy summer nights and discover the city’s convivial side.
Pétanque, Boules, or Boccia
Gravel, balls, and concentration: the recipe for hours of fun with friends is as simple as that. You can watch all the action on some of Zurich’s squares – or have a go at this precision sport yourself.
Damm Bar
An urban oasis with a unique flair, the Damm Bar features a big terrace and offers cool drinks. The neighboring garden is the ideal place to chill and enjoy the view from the Limmat river to Zurich West. Fresh nibbles and snacks are also on offer.
Bad Weather?
- The Masoala Hall has tropical temperatures all year round, no matter what the weather is like outside. The Mora-Mora Bar is an absolute insider tip, because it is a bit hard to find and is only open on Sunday afternoons!
- If you do not directly need tropical temperatures, Zurich’s museums are a good place to go. From art to history, technology, culture, design, and toys: in Zurich, the knowledge-thirsty will find all kinds of fascinating exhibitions.
Tip:
For after the exhibition, the café at the Museum Rietberg often serves culinary delicacies inspired by the current exhibitions. And during the summer, there are deliciously filled picnic baskets for visitors to take into the park under the trees.
