Start of swim season: When the temperatures rise, you’ll find most of Zurich's inhabitants near the water. This Thursday is the official opening date of Zurich’s outdoor pool areas along the lake and the river. As you're probably not tempted to test the water temperature just yet, it's good to know that many also offer poolside entertainment. Pier West: On the left side of Obere Letten at the Limmat there’s a concrete construction from 1952. At dusk this area turns into a barbeque place and bar with music and the perfect chill-out area. Rimini: The swimming area at Schanzengraben is open to men only during the day, but is available to all in the evening, when it offers food and drinks in an atmosphere evoking a Mediterranean beach. Barfussbar: Just near Bürkliplatz, this lido is only for women during the day. In the eve it's open for everybody with food, drinks and cultural entertainment. Unterer Letten: This pool at the Limmat is marked by a wooden bath-house built in 1910 and is one of Zurich's oldest pool areas. Step inside the building and you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Every Tuesday evening it hosts a bar and in July there’s an open-air cinema. Seebad Enge: Their light dishes, seasonal salads and barbeque accompany their freshly-squeezed juices and, of course, cocktails. Djs often play and the view on the lake is stunning – the perfect backdrop to a summer night.
