About Barfussbar

By day the Art Nouveau baths at Stadthausquai are for women only; on three evenings a week they become the Barfussbar, open to everyone, with the Old Town lit up across the water. The name is meant literally: shoes stay at the entrance, and on Sundays there is barefoot dancing in the open air. Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday 20:00–00:30; on the other evenings it is let for private events.
