Sunbathe at the Bains des Pâquis
If there’s one place for socializing all year round, it’s the Pâquis Baths. More than just a beach, they also offer Turkish baths, morning classes, delicious fondue and diving boards you’ll regret walking onto. Between the months of May and October, you can expect a flock of locals along the pier playing card games, reading or just basking in the sun—it’s basically a holiday destination.
