Recuperation for Body, Mind and Soul

Are you looking for a place where you can recuperate and warm up from the wintery temperatures, or after a stressful day at work, or a long day of sightseeing?

Then enjoy a few relaxing hours or a whole day at one of Vienna’s pools. Let your body, mind and soul simply relax.

The history of Vienna’s indoor swimming pools hearkens back to the 19th century. Originally generally equipped as bathhouses, baths and steam baths, they were later expanded with indoor swimming pools. Today, there are numerous swimming opportunities in Vienna so that nothing – not even bad weather – can get in the way of enjoying public baths or swimming. The pools are largely run by the city of Vienna, although some of them are privately operated.

Indoor swimming pools run by the city of Vienna

Amalienbad

It doesn’t matter whether you are staying at one of the centrally located Schick Hotels or in an outer district. Whichever district you happen to be in, the city of Vienna offers public swimming pools located throughout the whole city.

Do you love art and water, for instance? Why not combine enjoyment of art with the pleasure of a public bath and swimming pool?

The Amalienbad, located in Vienna’s 10th District, offers this sort of pleasure and enjoyment. It is one of Vienna’s most beautiful indoor swimming pools. Built between 1923 and 1926 in Art Deco style, at the time of its opening it was among the largest public baths in Europe. The original idea behind this indoor swimming pool was to give workers in the area the opportunity to experience regular personal hygiene and physical activity.

Yet the city of Vienna also offers the possibility to enjoy public baths and swimming in numerous other districts.

You can find an overview of all public baths and swimming pools of the city of Vienna, as well as their opening hours, entry fees and offers here.
