Intro

The small town of Baden is a cultural and spa town, wellness destination, conference venue, and shopping paradise all in one. Hardly any other place offers such a wide range of tourism and leisure activities as the city at the Limmat - a town of contrasts.

Baden at a glance

Take a walk along the Limmat or join a guided tour of the city, end the evening at a concert in the Nordportal or theater in the ThiK, float in the river on warm summer days, or enjoy a panoramic view from the Stein ruins - Baden has a lot to offer its guests.

In Baden and its surroundings, you will find a surprising variety of leisure activities for any weather. Restaurants, hotels, unique bars like the UnvermeidBAR, clubs and music venues like the Werkklokal, the Grand Casino Baden, state-of-the-art cinemas, museums and theaters, the unique thermal springs, traditional markets like the Christmas market or the weekly markets - something for everyone.

The famous "Baden spirit" is responsible for the certain something of the cultural life in Baden. It can be seen in the festivals organized with a great deal of commitment and heart and soul, on the city's traditional theater stages, in the innovative event venues and museums, in the countless and varied musical events and, above all, in the shining eyes of the enthusiastic public.
The natural warmth and power of the thermal springs have been used for 2,000 years.

To this day, one million liters of Switzerland's most mineral-rich thermal water bubble up daily at a temperature of 47°C from 18 sulfur springs. Thus, a rich culture of relaxation has also developed in the Limmat city, just waiting to be discovered! While people used to come to Baden mainly to bathe, today the wellness offer includes many other activities. From yoga and dancing to beauty treatments and healthy food - you can really enjoy yourself in the wellness destination of Baden!

The city of Baden even bears the "Wellness Destination" seal of quality with the approval of the national quality assurance commission. The seal of quality, created in 2008, distinguishes vacation resorts and vacation destinations that offer a comprehensive, high-quality wellness program. As a regional center with over 100,000 inhabitants and more than 30,000 jobs, Baden is the only urban Swiss wellness destination and thus enables a holistic well-being in harmony with work and everyday life.
