Zurich Gay and Lesbian Travel Tips

By Travel Expert: Matt Link

  • Pack your swimsuit in summer. Lake Zurich is usually warm enough to swim in during July and August. Head to the gay-friendly Tiefenbrunnen Beach, which has a bistro, restaurant, sunning, and cruising.
  • Watch the street addresses. The lowest numbers of addresses begin in the city center and work their way out from there. Don't blame the city planners: It has been like that in Zurich since the Middle Ages.
  • Stick to one nightclub. Zurich's entry fees into clubs are steep and don't include drinks, so it's best to find one club you like and hang out there.

It has always been an innovative place: The Dadaist movement was founded here in 1916, and the city has had residents such as Einstein, Lenin, Jung, Joyce, and Mann. Even Tina Turner now calls Zurich home! Read More
