Formerly an imperial summer retreat, Baden Bei Wien is a charming spa town only 16 miles away from Vienna. The therapeutic thermal waters have always been the town's biggest draw, and many visitors come here solely to relax in the luxurious thermal spas, some of which feature special touches like beautifully landscaped gardens and an artificial sand beach.
However, there are plenty of other attractions in Baden Bei Wien as well, including the historic castle ruins, the childhood home of the famous composer Beethoven, and a unique Doll and Toy Museum with a collection of more than 1000 pieces.
