Zurich combines a picturesque lakeside location with a lively, open queer scene around Langstrasse and the Old Town. This is just a rough suggestion — go with the flow and find your own pace.
Trendy district
The queer nightlife is concentrated around Langstraße in District 4 — colorful, lively and easily accessible.
Best time to visit
Summer is ideal for city and lake; Zurich Pride in summer brings additional colour to the city.
Don't Miss
A walk along Lake Zurich, the historic old town and the view from the Lindenhof.
