It has a family-friendly pool in the upper part, and a beautiful old wooden part extending into the river. The place offers some action, too: You can walk up, jump into the river, float down, start again..

Sauna Seebad Enge

Everyone loves the lake, but in winter it's just too freezing cold. So the only chance to dip in is to heat up first. The Sauna cabins are built with windows at the top, and the view warms your heart while your body starts sweating. There's reading material and wool blankets available, and the place feels like far away from the bustling city life.

In-between a lounge and a bar, Milch Bar is a cozy, little place near the lake which I love to visit all year. During the weekends a DJ lubes the sociality of the bar goers with some techno music. Entry is completely free and drinks are more than reasonably cheap.

Doing a Foxtrail helps locals discover the city from a new perspective: it combines a classic paper chase with innovative riddles, cool secret messages and historic locations. Locals are on a foxtrail on their kid's birthday, on a hen's night, on a company trip or just on any Saturday, when shopping again is not an option.

This open-air ice-skating rink is close to the city but it still feels like a small trip to get there. It's one of the smaller rinks, and it's quite charming due to it's location and the big tree in the middle of the ice field. It's also a popular attraction for school kids.

This is the most popular indoor swimming pool in Zurich because of it's central and convenient location. Many locals are into water sports, and swimming indoor is a nice option to stay fit when the lake and rivers are too cold. Thanks to its long opening hours, no one has an excuse not to work out.

Everyone needs to get spoiled once in a while, and this place in the middle of the old town lets you forget everything around. This hamam belongs to a gym, so one can combine a workout with a visit at the hamam as a reward. This hamam is gender mixed with a small section for women only.

I used to live very close by and called it my "village" because you can get everything you need here: all kinds of shops and services, a gym, dentist, restaurants, hotel, cinema, daycare, club even a "church" (prayer room open to all faiths). There are also seasonal activities on the square like a beach bar in Summer or a fondue hut in Winter.

Not only does the FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) have its headquarters in Zurich, they also built a nice museum that celebrates all things football.
Even I who am not particularly interested in the sport enjoyed my visit there because it's a really well made, modern museum with beautiful displays.
