This page collects all the information from the previous pages and is more
convenient if you want to print out or use a complete gay guide for Zurich.
On desktop PCs you can also print out your own preselection instead of the whole list:
just double-click on the name of the hotel or location that you would like to
remove, and the whole entry for that location will disappear.
Same with sections: double-click on a section title
(for instance ›Saunas‹) to remove the whole section.
If you are not happy with your selection and want to start all over again,
just reload this page.
Design hotel chain for budget travellers. Modern, clean and good value for money.
Conveniently located in the center of Zurich – many sights, shops and some of the gay bars are within walking distance.

Beaches
Badi Tiefenbrunnen
Zurich has several beaches along Lake Zurich and the Limmat river. Most popular with gays is the lido ›Badi Tiefenbrunnen‹, idyllically situated at Lake Zurich.
Its gay area in front of the changing cubicle next to the restaurant is well-known for showing and watching the newest swimwear fashion and the results of the hard work at the gyms in the winter season.
If you like your bum sun-tanned, you can go to the Werdinsel, a small island on the Limmat river. After the guarded beach you will find the nude beach which is also a gay area. (No cruising, though – the bushes are regularly checked by the police.)
