30 wonderful things to do in July

El Mojito Tropical Lounge is a throbbing summertime cocktail bar-cum-beach shack on a lakeside jetty. Admire the view or the beautiful people, or both. 

Located by the shores of Wollishofen, this romantic bistro/restaurant invites you to relax. Enjoy the beautiful view of the lake, while sipping a cocktail.

Swim in the crystal clear waters of one of the world's most beautiful lakes. The Seebad Luzern offers a laid back vibe with its simple wooden construction of two courtyards surrounding open air pools.

First opened in 1890, the charming wooden structure is now one of the trendiest summer pools in town.

Owned by alternative theatre and performance venue Le Bourg, this outdoor pop-up bar tucked under Bessières bridge is a great spot to kick back with a drink in summer.

A lovely spot to go for a drink, a light lunch or an apéro as the sun goes down. 

With a 30m swimming pool that becomes an ice rink in winter, a wave pool, 10m waterslide and kids pool, this is a fantastic family destination in Bern.

Genève-Plage is a water sport-lovers paradise, with an Olympic sized pool, paddling pool and 9-metre waterslide as well as lake swimming access and a 10-metre diving board into Lake Geneva (Lac Leman). 

Open from mid-May to the end of September, this outdoor pop-up bar is a lovely place to kick off your shoes and lay about on a sun lounger underneath a palm tree, mojito in hand.

Europe’s highest campsite (1,950 metres) is best suited to hardy campers who aren’t looking for added entertainment. Go for the generous grassy pitches, the peace and quiet, and the setting.
