Baden bei Wien

By · Lower Austria, 🇦🇹 Østerrike

Baden bei Wien is a spa town at the edge of the Vienna Woods, about 25 km south of Vienna. Its sulphur springs have drawn bathers since Roman times, and in the 19th century the Habsburg court and composers such as Beethoven spent summers here.

The town has elegant Biedermeier streets, a large spa park and a casino. It is an easy day trip from Vienna, and a quiet base for walks and wine villages.

The Romans built baths here, and the settlement was called Aquae. The town rose again in the 18th century as the Habsburg court and aristocrats came for the waters. Beethoven, Mozart and later Strauss visited. A large fire in 1812 led to the Biedermeier rebuilding of the centre.
