These 9 wellness offers are affordable for (almost) everyone, one is even free

Wellness and spa are only for everyone with the necessary change – no, that does not have to be the case. We have some relaxation options here that you can definitely afford.

We start with a free wellness offer: the warm fountains in Baden and Ennetbaden. The Bagno populare is open to everyone every day from about 7 a.m. to about 10 p.m.

Depending on the weather, there is a warm fountain bath from 37 to 43 degrees with undiluted, natural thermal spring water. And all this directly on the Limmat. The target group for hot fountains are people who like to bathe in hot water. There are better places to drink beer. However, it is not forbidden to drink something while bathing. If you go swimming, take some water or tea with you; thermal water makes you very thirsty.

By the way: In addition to the fountains, a simple thermal bath is in use until May in the disused baths of the former Bad zum Raben hotel. Entrance there costs ten francs, but you also have cloakrooms, a bar and a steam bath.
