What’s a Badi, you ask? It’s short for Badeanstalt—aka public bathing spot—and it’s an essential part of Swiss summer life. Whether it’s on a lake, river, or includes an open-air pool, a Badi is where you’ll find people swimming, sunning, sipping, and straight-up vibing. If you’re visiting in spring or summer, don’t miss out.

If you're exploring the Alps or wandering through a historic old town and clouds suddenly roll in or drizzle hits your sunglasses, don’t panic (or cancel your plans). A little rain never stopped the Swiss… and it shouldn’t stop you either.
