You Can Get Into These Luxurious European Spas For Free On Your Birthday

Austria’s spa culture is one of the reasons why the country is bearable in the winter months and if you’re turning a year older during your trip, then you should be sure to visit the spas, as some offer entrance free of charge for guests celebrating. Take your ID, slip into your birthday suit and head into steamy waters for a rejuvenating experience.
