An app for every mood and moment

At the touch of a cross, you can choose your mood, be it active, social, cultural or stylish. Or let the app inspire you with its random mood selection. If you’d rather search by location, use the ‘city selector’ and interactive maps to zoom in on a hand-picked selection of places in one of seven key cities: Zürich, Bern, Geneva, Basel, Lausanne, Lucerne and Lugano. The perfect espresso, the best lake view, creative cocktails at an urban beach – it’s all here for the browsing.
