Frauenbad Stadthausquai on Postcard

"An Art Deco Badi in the Altstadt Situated on the left bank of the Limmat River in the Old Town, this is the badi to go to if you want to swim with a postcard-worthy backdrop (Grossmünster Church is diagonally across). In the daytime, it’s women-only in the Art Deco bathhouse; come evening, it transforms into the beautifully lit Barfussbar, which welcomes a mixed crowd."

"The Frauenbad Stadthausquai, in the heart of old Zurich on the Limmat, is a female-only badi that turns into a unisex riverside lounge come evening."

Incredible women-only swimming bath in the city center. Visited as a tourist (who was missing summer swims in her own country!) and the staff were welcoming. I went on a Wednesday and it wasn’t crowded at all. It’s a really special place! Beautiful vintage art nouveau facility with plants and fabulous views over Zurich. Super clean and cosy. There’s a mini bar/restaurant on site too. Toilets, showers, and changing areas also. One secluded pool hidden from sight, and one on the riverfront also. Costs 8 francs to enter. Can pay with card/phone.

This is one of the most idealistic places you can imagine. Beautiful plants. Women of all shapes and sizes in various states of undress. Wonderful food and drinks. Spectacular views of old town Zurich. I am in love.

Atmosphere is amazing and vivid. Felt free and safe. This is a women’s lido, so bring girls and books and have amazing time sightseeing and bathing

I was traveling through and decided to spend a few hours here and had a peaceful and great experience! The staff are so kind and helpful! The prices on the website seemed out of date so I recommend bringing your own sunscreen, drink and towel (they do reimburse the towel rental on your way out tho!). It’s a lovely, old-school vibe and there’s plenty of privacy if that’s what you’re more into when sun bathing! I could’ve easily spent the whole day here and will absolutely stop in when I’m in Zurich again!

I know the Frauenbad from a visitor's point of view, because it is often rented as a party location. And for that, the Frauenbad is really great (of course only as good as or who the organizer is)! In summer, of course, the best decision to rent, due to the pool feeling inside combined with the decoration and music. It invites you to linger and small talk can quickly lead to acquaintances. Conclusion: go, if you have to opportunity! One thing and unfortunately too often the case, you have to be patient when ordering drinks ... it takes way too long to order and get them at the bar...
