Story: Baden is one of best resorts Austria. Known since the times of the Roman Empire under the name Baths of Pannonica (lat. Thermae Pannonicae). Hot sulfur springs were used by the Romans (Latin: Itinerarium Antonini). There are fifteen springs in total in Baden, thirteen of which are warm, thanks to which the city got its name. The temperature of warm spring water is from 22 °C to 36 °C, and its key ingredient is calcium sulfate. The springs, which are used primarily for bathing, are mainly located at the foot of Mount Calvarienberg (German: Calvarienberg, about 326 m), made of dolomitized limestone.
Before the First World War, Baden was the main resort in Austria; about 20,000 tourists came here every year to enjoy the waters. Celebrities include Ludwig van Beethoven, who summer time lived here in 1803-1825 and visited thermal springs and drank mineral water. Now in Baden you can visit his museum.
The city smells of hydrogen sulfide, especially near Romertherme and the Casino in the Kursaal building, in the basement of which you can see a well with clear bluish water. This is the Roman spring (Romerquelle).
The city has the Arnulf Rainer Museum in the former Frauenbad baths. This building was built in 1821 on the site of the Frauenkirche church that burned down in 1812, designed by Charles de Moreau, one of the leading architects of French classicism. In 1973, the baths ceased to be used and are now being renovated. There are two swimming pools and locker rooms, which are used as exhibition space.
There are several other buildings of former baths in Baden: Josefsbad, which now houses a cafe, Franzensbad with a Turkish hammam, but the water used there is not thermal, and others. The photographs show some of the old bathhouse buildings and their modern appearance.
The city of Baden itself is charming, with cafes, pastry shops where you can try bagels with nuts and poppy seeds, with a Kurpark, a casino and numerous memorial plaques and drinking sources and fountains. And there are vineyards on the hills around.
The thermal beach in Baden is open in summer

Advantages:
Helpful, great stay

Flaws:
common locker room with Europeans without complexes, in the common sauna only naked.

Continuing the story of our journey through Austria, today I want to tell you about the Roman Baths, which are located in the glorious town of Badan. Do not confuse with German Baden-Baden.

We got from the city of Vienna to the town of Baden by high-speed train, very quickly and without problems. We bought a weekly subscription for trains in Vienna, and for this trip we bought a separate ticket. Which our inspectors checked.
But you can get here on a special tram that runs from Vienna.
Just a train, it was much more convenient for us, from the place where we lived.

You need to set aside a whole day for this excursion, leave for Baden early in the morning and return in the evening, as we did. We were able not only to walk around the city of Baden and get lost in it, I talked about this in my review, but also to swim to our heart's content in the Roman Baths and then climb the mountain and do walking through the Vienna Woods, one of many walking routes, of which there are a lot here.

Baden is considered one of the best health resorts Austria, and the baths that have been here since Roman times are known far beyond the borders of this state. There are a total of 14 hot springs in Badan, all of them working all year round.

Roman baths are quite easy to find in Badan, like any thermal spring they have their own specific smell that cannot be confused with anything else. In addition, there are signs throughout the city.

We brought swimsuits and everything we needed for the pool. But we didn’t have rubber slippers with us. We decided to buy them somewhere near the Roman baths or already in them, because disposable slippers should be sold.

But that was not the case, we did a good shopping in the city shops and bought a lot of everything except slippers. Therefore, we decided to buy them in the Roman baths themselves.

In front of the healing “water park” itself there are two sculptures: the photographer (photo above) and the head he is photographing (photo below).

The cost then was about 5 euros for two hours and 9 euros for the whole day, the sauna was paid separately for about 4 euros. But there were many gradations, we took three hours for 7.5 euros. The price depends on the time and day. We visited in the morning and on a weekday, so it was not expensive. We didn’t go to the sauna; we were still embarrassed that we had to completely undress. Well, somehow we were not ready for such a turn of events. Today it costs about 13-15 euros on weekdays.

The thermal baths are open from 10:00 to 22:00

In the Roman baths themselves there were already enough people at 12 noon that we even had to stand in a small queue.

As for the story with the slippers, we never bought them. Today it’s hard for me to say why, either they weren’t on sale there, or the price for them was off the charts. That's why we were without them.

This is what the thermal baths themselves look like. Unfortunately, this is the last photo, since we did not take a camera to the pool. When you go to the locker room, you can see the complex itself through the glass. There are two main indoor pools, one with warm water, the other colder and with contrasting water, there are also children's pools and a place where you can get a hydromassage for your back. There is a bridge between them. There are also two swimming pools below open air which operate all year round. These are the hot springs themselves.

The dressing room in the Roman baths is shared, there are a lot of booths. To close the booth you will need 2 euros, which are then returned. Therefore, stock up on change.

There are also cabins where you can change clothes. But the Germans and Austrians are like that, they are not shy about anything, many change clothes and undress near the booth. Without the slightest bit of embarrassment, what difference does it make to the sauna? Everyone goes naked anyway.

This is such a simple attitude to life that it is natural and not ugly. It’s that we’ve somehow been taught to be ashamed of our bodies.

The showers are separate, and thanks for that.

We were in Baden in April, when it was still very early spring. And from the beginning it was difficult to imagine how one could swim in the open air. But the water is so hot that the cold air is very pleasant. Our temperature was only 10 degrees. And the water temperature in the source is 36 degrees, well, at least that’s what was stated.
You cannot stay in a hydrogen sulfide thermal spring for a long time and it has contraindications. Therefore you need to be careful.

The second outdoor pool has a lot of hydro jets; it’s a fairly large Jacuzzi pool, so the main thing here is to take your place, you can massage all parts of the body.

In three hours we swam, had a hydromassage of all parts of the body and had a lot of fun.

If you're in Vienna, be sure to set aside a day to visit the Roman Baths. I recommend it because we really enjoyed it.

Of course they cannot compare with the wild Roman baths of Saturnia. which we visited in Italy. But still worth your attention and have a great holiday in the aquatic zone.

The Roman baths in Badan are very relaxing and you can visit them, but you need to understand that everything here is quite simple and without frills. If you want treatment and bells and whistles, then you need to choose special hotels with sources where you will receive the full range of services.

What are the thermal springs in Baden (Austria) like and what does the pleasure cost?

Gorgeous thing. I traveled from Vienna on a silent, double-decker train, observing the most wonderful landscapes. The costs are small, I don’t remember exactly, but I’ll assume that the train itself is 6 euros, the ride takes 20 minutes.
In Baden you just need to walk for about 15 minutes and you are there. Many swimming pools: outdoor, indoor, jacuzzi; different depths; 3 or 4 types of sauna, gorgeous. it was definitely worth a penny. out of the category - 7 euros or something!
