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.
