A beautiful old wooden bathing place dating back to 1888, which floats on the Limmat in Zurich. There is a bar, a massage area and a little place cornered off for reading.

It is terrific to treat oneself to a half-day, or even an hour’s break here. And this – right in the middle of the city. On the evenings of Wednesday, Thursday & Sunday when the bath house turns to  bar, men can join too.
