UNESCO - World Heritage Tour

every Saturday at 2 pm

Baden bei Wien - Great Spa Towns of Europe From the “weird” Beethoven to Mozart's love of drinking - experience exciting stories of the UNESCO World Heritage town of Baden with the certified Baden Austria Guides as part of our four different themed town walks! 

 

1st Saturday: “In the city of yellow gold”

6.1. | 3.2. | 2.3. |30.3 | 6.4. | 4.5. | 1.6. | 29.6 | 6.7. | 3.8. | 31.8. | 7.9. | 5.10. | 2.11. | 30.11. | 7.12.

More than 4 million liters of sulphur water bubble up from Baden's thermal springs every day. The city owes its wealth and its development into a world spa resort to this natural treasure. We explore historic and modern bathhouses and, as a special highlight, the underground Roman spring in the spa gardens, which is otherwise not accessible. 

2nd Saturday: “Hotspot of high society!”

The Habsburgs not only invested in the development of the spa town, but also created a social hype. The spa lists of Baden read like a Who's Who of European history. We visit the luxury bathing temple of Emperor Franz II (Frauenbad) and stroll past imposing town houses to the social parquet of the Kurpark.

Probably the most legendary spa guest, Ludwig van Beethoven, wrote his 9th symphony (European anthem) in Baden. We go in search of traces of famous musicians and their immortal works and explore how Beethoven, Mozart, Strauß & Co. lived and what inspired them. We visit the parish church of St. Stephan and the underground Roman spring in the Kurpark.

The crowned heads of Europe, rich Viennese, dashing officers, good wives and lovers - they all came to recharge their batteries, cure ailments and indulge in pleasure. On our enjoyable city walk, we rediscover the places of entertainment from back then - from the illegal gambling den to the elegant municipal theater, from the promenade in the Kurpark to the Frauenbad (including a tour), where the emperor enjoyed himself.
