Only 26 kilometres from Vienna, the cultural capital of Austria, Baden offers a rich variety of baths and springs, parks and gardens, coffee-houses, idyllic wine places as well as leisure and sports facilities. The origin of Baden lies in the healing powers of the sulfur springs. The Romans experienced and enjoyed the waters, calling the place "Aquae". Until today, the town bases its image on the element of water in all its different aspects. Baden has held a special place in Austrian history since Emperor Francis I chose this idyllic town for his Imperial summer residence between 1814 (the year of the Vienna Congress) to 1834. Artists, intellectuals as well as the so called "good society" followed him. The blending of art and money set a high standard and created a unique atmosphere, which the city continues to preserve. Climate In June, Austria has summer weather with average temperatures of 20°C. Transportation Baden is situated 26 km south of Vienna and 33km of the Schwechat international airport of Vienna. Getting to Baden: From "Westautobahn" A1 and A21 and from the "S?dautobahn" A2 by state-route 210 to Baden near Vienna.
