About this place Platzspitz Park

Platzspitz is a leafy park on the spit where the Sihl meets the Limmat, just behind the Swiss National Museum and a short walk from the Hauptbahnhof. It is Zürich's most central outdoor gay cruising area, busiest on warm summer evenings around dusk in the quieter, bushier sections. It is an open public park, so discretion is essential; keep to tolerated behaviour, stay aware of your surroundings, and respect that families and other visitors use the space by day.

The former Needle Park is now an oasis in the city.
