Meet like-minded people in Zurich
On your own in Zurich? Check in for the days you're there, say what you're open to, and other travellers and locals who chose to be seen can ask to join. They see your city, never your exact spot.
Zurich is a clean, efficient and beautiful city on a lake, with mountain views, an elegant old town and a surprisingly lively nightlife. Solo travellers love swimming in the lake and the Limmat river in summer and exploring the old town on foot. Travellers gather in the Niederdorf old town, the Langstrasse area in District 4 and the creative Zurich West area.
Meeting people in Zurich: what works
- Join locals at the summer lake and river baths (Badis), such as Oberer Letten on the Limmat and Seebad Utoquai on the lake, some of which run bars on summer evenings.
- Climb or take the train up the Uetliberg for views over the city and the Alps.
- Explore Zurich West and the Im Viadukt market and shops under the railway arches.
- Join a free or paid walking tour of the old town to learn about the city and meet other travellers.
Stay safe
Zurich is very safe, but it is expensive, so budget carefully, and only swim in the lake and river at designated areas.
Meet in public places, tell a friend where you’re going, and never send money to someone you met online.
