Experience the history of Baden on a fascinating journey through time—from Roman bathing rituals to the modern day. This walking tour highlights the city’s most significant eras and brings its development to life.
The journey begins with the Romans at the Limmatknie, who made Baden famous even back then for its thermal springs. The tour continues into the Middle Ages, when Baden was granted city rights and rose to become the unofficial capital of the Swiss Confederation. Fascinating anecdotes shared against the backdrop of historic walls reveal how Baden established its tradition as a major conference destination through the Tagsatzungen—a role that continues to this day. A captivating insight into the eventful history of a unique city.
