What to do and see in Austria, Austria: The Best Thermal Spas
As home to majestic mountains, opulent palaces, and high culture, Austria's attractions are classically sumptuous and enduring. But beyond the waltzes, the strudels, the alpine summits, and Habsburg architecture, its modern cities are proof of just how easily Austria combines the contemporary with the historic.

A visit to Therme Wien is a transformative experience. This unique thermal spa is an irresistible world where peace and quiet reigns. Leave your everyday stresses and strains at the door. Time loses all meaning, leaving you free to concentrate on what matters most: yourself! You will be in your element: in the heart of the city, yet surrounded by nature. Gentle and contemplative, fun and loud, effervescent or calm. Just like the imaginary stream that wends its way through the heart of Therme Wien, following its natural course and releasing energy in cascading fountains. The Therme Wien stream is a silent and ever-present companion for spa goers on their quest to rediscover themselves. Our goal is to create a place where people can break free of their daily routine and get in touch with their inner rhythm. At Therme Wien you have more than enough time and opportunity to unwind. What are you waiting for?

If you’ve got a spare 3-4hours in Vienna, I highly recommend going to Therme Wien. First of all, you’ll need swimmers, a towel (else it’s 5€ to rent!) and flip flops. Also take a water bottle if you plan on sauna-ing. Catch the red U1 from the Hauptbahnhof towards Oberlaa. Head up the stairs across the pedestrian bridge and you’re there. It was crazy busy when I went on a Sunday night, but the line to get in moved pretty fast because you pay at the end of your visit. I asked for one adult locker entry, they programmed my numbered “wristband” and I headed downstairs to the change rooms to find my locker number. These are mixed so if you’re a bit shy, ask for a cabin instead. Them take your towel and hit the thermal pools. There were some great ones both indoor and outdoor. But the best part IMO is the sauna area. Just swipe your wristband to get in and they’ll charge you at the end. It’s split into men, women or mixed. Everyone gets their gear off in there, so choose whichever section you feel more comfortable. I went into the women’s first - it has a range of saunas at different temperatures, scented steam rooms (the Mexican lemongrass one was my fave!), showers, a COLD plunge pool and some outdoor spas. After getting used to it, I gave the mixed sauna a go. It is much the same - scented steam rooms (here I loved the apple scented one!), a couple of different heat saunas (65C, 90C etc), outdoor thermal baths and another plunge pool. I definitely regretted not taking my water bottle into this part, and there are heaps of free loungers so you could even take a book and chill back. All done, I paid about 34€ at the end checkout. 21€ for the thermal entry, 5€ for a towel and another 9€ for the sauna. I stayed just shy of 3 hours all told. Hop back on the train and 15 mins later you’ll be back at Hauptbahnhof. Definitely recommend if you’re visiting in winter and have some spare time to wind down one evening. They’re open til 10pm. It’s super warming, relaxing and chill (in the sauna part where there are no kids).
