Stories of the Baths District
Historical heritage meets modern bathing culture
The journey through the history of Baden’s baths begins with the Romans, who built monumental thermal complexes at the Limmat bend 2,000 years ago. Fascinating stories and vivid anecdotes trace the path through the centuries. In the Middle Ages, Baden developed into one of Europe’s most important spa and bathing destinations, where kings, emperors, and scholars sought healing and inspiration in the steaming springs. Impressive testimonies, such as the apse of a Roman bath or the historic Hotel BLUME. bring the past to life. Today, the new thermal spa FORTYSEVEN and the modern rehabilitation clinic open a new chapter in this unique bathing history—a story that unfolds step by step during the tour and remains tangible to the present day.
