Bains des Pâquis

While it's definitely more lively during the day and in the summers, the charm is no less even on a cold, winter evening. You could take a stroll, or maybe a walk, alone or with friends or dear ones, watch boats parked at the pier, enjoy the breeze and perhaps, some swan watching. Absolutely peaceful and a great place to hangout when you seek some solitude.

great Outlook experience at the lake. reasonable prices, great staff. also open in winter. great view to the city skyline and genevas signature jet d'eau.

Such a lovely place to have lunch at! The queue was quite long over lunch time but super worth it. Delicious food plus amazing lake view with swans and ducks swimming around you. I had this amazing salmon salad that tasted fresh and sat on the deck so I can be closer to the nature. It was such a memorable lunch at Geneva lake! Also, the staff told me which food contains pork in case I don’t eat it. Very kind! 😊

An exceptional place in the heart of Geneva city on the lake. Beach and lake swimming pool in summer and a fabulous steam bath and sauna in winter time. I can also highly recommend their restaurant with greate dishes and local specialtys in the very casual surrounding of the bath.

Nice place to swim, jump into Lake Geneva, play on kids playground and get food (fondu and more) and drinks. Parking is difficult though - - try the hotel garage a few blocks away. Cheap (2 Euros per person), yet if you leave, you'll have to pay to re-enter on the same day.

Cost €2 to swim in a beach that’s literally right next to all that’s hip and happening!! Great changing rooms, great swimming area, looked like everyone else had a great time too!! And not that the beach gets credit, but the water was perfect temp. I didn’t try any other beaches in Geneva, but I got nothing bad to say about this one.

For only 2 euros, you can access the beach front and the bathrooms. I went in the morning when barely anyone was there and stayed all day. There was a mix of locals and tourists there. I was there alone, but it’s very safe and I could leave my things on the beach while I went swimming without fear of things being taken. There is a restaurant there, too.

Went with a local and wow! Changing room, shower, toilet, lockers, all for free before 8am. Such a beautiful place for a sunrise swim or dip.

You must go on your Swiss vacation! It was a wonderful beach with lots of areas to swim and lounge. The cafe is quite affordable and a fondue for one is honestly huge. I split one with my roommate. Make sure to bring 2 CHF CASH!

It is an amazing SPA during winter. There are one sauna, two Hammam and a relaxing room. It is possible to exit the sauna and jump in the lake. It is located on the lake in the very city center and it is possible to view the whole city from there. Just note that nudism is allowed in the entire area. Strongly recommended.

In the winter the end of the quai of the Bain des paquis is mostly dedictaed to Hammam/Sauna, there are 2 Hammam rooms, one mixed one female, (which stay open all year) but the highlight is the steam room which has a glass front which looks out over the lake to the alps. The whole thing is set out along the end of the quai and whilst there is the cold shower option jumping in the lake is amazing! The whole trip costs about 12 francs I believe and you get a lockable changing room which you can keep your stuff in.
