Baden is often called Baden bei Wien (Baden near Vienna) to differentiate between it and Baden in Switzerland or Baden Baden, which is in Germany. Although it is very near to Vienna – only about 26 km – it has a very vibrant life of its own and although when staying in a Baden city centre (center) apartment you might go to Vienna for the day, there is plenty to do in Baden itself.

Baden is a medieval town, with many small lanes and interesting buildings. Beethoven was very fond of Baden and often visited to take advantage of the warm baths and, as he stayed in many different buildings, it may be that your Baden serviced residence will be near to one of them. If, like him, you would like to test out the spa treatments in Baden there are thirteen warm bath establishments in the town and all you need to do is choose the temperature you prefer. The coolest is 22°C and the warmest 36°C – very relaxing. To get the most out of the treatment, you need to choose the one nearest to your Baden holiday apartment so you can get back quickly and carry on your relaxation with a nice lie down.

Vineyards surround Baden and there are nearly a hundred wine bars in the town where you can sample the product; another way of relaxing whilst staying in your Baden aparthotel, if you don’t fancy a warm bath, perhaps. Food is very important in Austria and of course the speciality of the whole country is dessert (sachertorte in particular), so make sure you leave space in your day to stop a couple of times for coffee and cake. If you can’t stop during your sightseeing, take a couple of slices back to your Baden service apartment for later.

Nightlife in Baden is a special treat for anyone staying in a Baden holiday let. The town has the largest casino in Europe and is well worth a visit even if you are not a gambler, as the building – the Palace of Congresses – is amazing, with floodlighting and terraces and beautiful gardens. The casino has all the usual games going on and is a magnet for many people throughout the area and beyond. If you like your gambling to be outside, the Baden horse races are on from July to September. No stay in a Baden short stay apartment would be complete without a visit to the Tereziengarten, the gardens named after the Empress Maria Theresa. They were a favourite of hers and have changed little since she walked their paths in the eighteenth century.
