Seebad Utoquai

"Here, gay men gather at Seebad Utoquai, which is part of Zürich's vibrant and varied gay scene."

"Swimming Along the Tree-Lined Utoquai This historic wooden badi situated along the pretty tree-lined Utoquai near the Zurich Opera House has welcomed lakeside idlers since 1890, and parts of the original swimming “palace” still remain intact. There are now mixed and separate pools and sunbathing areas (with the occasional nude bather), plus floating decks and diving platforms. On any given summer day, there’s a lot of lake traffic nearby—crisscrossing sailboats and paddleboats—which is great if you want to feel part of the action, though a slight nuisance if it’s tranquil waters you’re seeking."

"Seebad Utoquai, a wooden bathhouse built in 1890. It’s an ideal spot to do a few swan-dodging laps in the emerald lake, followed by an espresso and a fortifying Birchermüesli."
