Hola! I made this guide because Zurich in summer has a side that really surprised me.

The lake, the river, the badis, the cafés, the sunsets, the music, the people outside… the city feels different. Warmer. More open. More alive.

As a Venezuelan living in Zurich, I naturally look for places with feeling – you know what I mean! Places where you can sit by the water, swim for free, have a good coffee, dance a little, meet friends, or just enjoy the city without rushing.

This guide brings together the spots I actually love and go to: my everyday lake walk, my favourite badis, river places, cafés, local classics, nightlife, festivals and small corners that make Zurich feel special.

It is my Zurich summer, shared in a simple and personal way.

Have a blast!
