Especially enjoyable during the winter months when there’s snow on the ground outside, a sauna is the perfect way to relax, unwind and sweat out toxins from the festive months. Austria is renowned for its spa culture and Vienna’s saunas have become a popular meeting place for locals.
Amalienbad
This Art Deco/Art Nouveau masterpiece, a time capsule of 1920’s ‘Red Vienna’, is by far one of the city’s most photogenic pools. Based in Vienna’s working class district, the women’s sauna, decked out with a stained glass roof and mosaic tiles, is a fabulously retro venue in which to sweat it all out.
