Baden, Spa town in Baden District, Austria
Baden is a spa town in the Baden District of Austria, built around natural thermal springs and featuring architecture spanning several centuries. The town centers on grand bathhouses, elegant villas set in manicured gardens, and public parks designed for leisurely strolls.
Baden's thermal springs were known and used in Roman times, setting the foundation for its later development as a major European spa destination. From the medieval period through the modern era, the healing waters attracted nobility and wealthy visitors from across Europe.
Baden is recognized as part of the UNESCO World Heritage list for the Great Spa Towns of Europe, reflecting how thermal springs shaped European wellness traditions. The town's architecture and layout still show how bathing culture influenced where people lived and gathered.
The town is easily explored on foot with marked walking routes connecting different quarters and historical buildings throughout the area. Comfortable shoes are recommended since some sections are hilly and walks may cover longer distances.
The Kurhaus blends traditional thermal baths with social spaces, preserving wellness practices passed down through centuries. Many visitors overlook how this tradition remains woven into the daily rhythms and uses of the building.
