About the event
Baden is one of the eleven Great Spa Towns of Europe that are listed together as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town's tourism office runs a guided tour every Saturday from 2 pm to 3:30 pm, starting at the Tourist Info Baden, Brusattiplatz 3. Places are limited.
There are four themes, rotating in a fixed cycle: theme 1 on the first Saturday of the month, theme 2 on the second, and so on. If a month has a fifth Saturday, the cycle starts again with theme 1. Check which theme is on when you register.
- Theme 1 – the town of “yellow gold”: the sulphur springs that made the spa town, old bath houses and a visit to the underground Roman spring (Römerquelle) in the Kurpark.
- Theme 2 – hotspot of high society: Baden in the time of the Habsburgs, including the Frauenbad, which is linked to Emperor Franz II.
- Theme 3 – summer retreat with Beethoven & Co: composers who stayed in Baden – Beethoven, Mozart, Johann Strauss – and the role the sulphur springs played in their visits, with St Stephen's parish church and the Roman spring.
- Theme 4 – spa pleasures: how spa guests passed the time, from theatre to gambling, with a walk through the Kurpark and a stop at the former Frauenbad, today the Arnulf Rainer Museum.
