Swim city

Switzerland might be landlocked but with about 6% of Europe’s fresh water flowing through its many rivers and lakes, there are plenty of outdoor swimming spots in which to cool down in the summer heat. Today, we’re dipping our toes in the pristine waters of Lake Zürich in Switzerland’s largest city, which has developed its own urban lido culture. Dotted across Zürich, you'll find lots of lidos (public open-air swimming pools) that make the most of the city’s lakes. At this time of year, it’s common to see city workers swap smart suits for swimming costumes to enjoy a quick dip on their lunch break.
