Bar, restaurant and concert venue. During the day "El Lokal" is an easy going place by the river amidst the city center to enjoy coffee or a cold beer. They also serve different kinds of simple dishes. At night this place is a buzzing bar and venue for concerts. Specially recommended during the summertime.

Parks & Nature
One of my favorites for the summertime!
A bathing spot by the river. Clear and fresh water. On the one side there are lots of free spots in the grass or on the wooden pier to lay down. On the other side there are sun beds, lockers and showers. Great spot to hang out on hot summer days but also great for a refreshing dip in the morning to start the day.
!! BE AWARE: The river has a strong current here and you have to get out of the water before the last ladder. People usually jump in on the one end and let the current carry them a few meters and then they get out. Look at the signs and watch how the other people do it before you jump in. !!

Beautiful historic park and garden to stroll and relax. The park surrounds the "Museum Rietberg" that exhibits great non-European art. The park is located on a hill. If the weather is nice you will have a great view.

If you're looking for a spot to swim in the lake, get off at this station and walk down to the lake. There are several public spots where people lie on the green lawns.

Drinks & Nightlife
A very special outdoor bar located below the old botanical garden of Zurich. During the day it's a men's public bath. In the evening the place turns into a hip bar by the water, surrounded by high walls, green plants and nice lighting. But remember: "Never open when it rains." That's their Motto. Check the opening hours and news on their website.
