What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Zurich?

The weather is wonderfully warm, with average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 25°C, creating ideal conditions for swimming in Lake Zurich or lounging by one of the city's charming "Badis" (lidos).

During these peak summer months, the city buzzes with activity, and the lakefront areas are particularly lively. Many beach hotels offer expanded services and amenities, and you'll find plenty of opportunities for watersports, boat trips, and al-fresco dining with stunning lake views. Families, in particular, will find this a fantastic time to visit, with numerous family-friendly activities available both at the hotels and around the lake.

For a slightly different, yet equally appealing, experience, June is an excellent alternative. While still warm and pleasant, with temperatures typically between 18°C and 22°C, it precedes the busiest period. You may find better value on premium rooms and it can be easier to secure reservations at popular lakeside restaurants.
How can I save on a beach hotel in Zurich with Expedia?

Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals.



*Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.
What beach activities should we do in Zurich?
While Zurich isn't directly on the coast, you can certainly enjoy beach-like activities at various spots along Lake Zurich and the Limmat River. These areas offer sandy or pebbled shores and designated swimming zones, providing a refreshing experience.

For a classic lakeside experience, head to Strandbad Tiefenbrunnen. This lido on the eastern shore of Lake Zurich boasts a large grassy area for sunbathing, a sandy beach entry into the lake, and several swimming lanes. It's a great spot for families, with a dedicated children's play area and shallow waters great for paddling. You can also rent paddleboards or pedal boats here for some on-the-water fun.

Another excellent option, particularly for couples seeking a relaxed afternoon, is the Enge lakeside bathing area (Seebad Enge). Situated on the western side of Lake Zurich with stunning views of the city and the Alps, it offers a stylish wooden deck for sunbathing, direct access to the lake for swimming, and even a sauna for cooler days. It's a bit more sophisticated than a traditional beach, providing a tranquil escape with excellent facilities.

For those looking for a river experience, Flussbad Oberer Letten is a popular choice. Located along the Limmat River, this historic river pool features wooden sun decks and direct access to the flowing river for swimming. It's a great experience, allowing you to drift downstream with the current.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Zurich as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Zurich for you.
