Who it's for
Families; slides, 3 and 5 m diving board and children's pool

Baden's summer bathing complex opened in 1926 and turns a hundred in 2026: a protected inter-war building, tree-lined lawns, a palm island and Austria's largest artificial sandy beach, made with sand brought from the Danube. It has two 50-metre pools, hot sulphurous-water pools, a current channel, slides, a 3 and 5-metre diving board and a children's area. It is open only in the summer season: if you go in winter, the thermal bath is the Römertherme.
