Sipping Cocktails Above the Rooftops of Munich
On the 7th floor of the Cocoon Hotel on Lindwurmstraße, you’ll find what might be Munich’s most relaxing mini getaway: the rooftop bar FreiSchwimmer. Up here, everything feels lighter – like a summer’s day that never ends.
What to expect?
A view that takes your breath away: to the right, the towers of the church at Gotzinger Platz; to the left, the sparkle of the Alter Peter; and straight ahead – almost too perfect to be real – the Alps stretch across the horizon. In between: nothing but rooftops, skies, sunsets – and the feeling of floating above it all.
Urban Jungle Meets Poolside Flair
FreiSchwimmer isn’t your typical bar – it’s a love letter to lightness. Palm trees, swings, deck chairs, and a tiled bar front proudly displaying the phrase “Nicht vom Beckenrand springen” (“No diving from the poolside”) – everything here evokes long, hot days by the pool. Just without the chlorine – and with much better drinks.
The concept: an urban rooftop pool – full of style, soul, and alpine views.
Every detail is carefully curated, every element plays with a sense of freedom, ease, and summertime-in-the-city. The result? A place that’s more than just a backdrop – it’s a whole mood.
