Baden is the perfect insider tip for anyone wanting to experience authentic Swiss city life without getting lost in the overcrowded tourist crowds of Zurich. This charming town surprises visitors with an unbeatable blend of culture, relaxation, and excellent transport links.
While many travelers to Switzerland usually only focus on Zurich, the story of Couchsurfer Jad from Saudi Arabia shows how much more Baden has to offer. He originally only wanted to visit Zurich, Interlaken, and other classic destinations. However, as an animation film fan, he happened to learn about the event that was currently taking place the Fantoche Festival in Baden, ventured the detour, stayed overnight there – and was thrilled by the city.
The historic old town, with its vibrant atmosphere, invites you to stroll, while the beautiful promenade along the Limmat River is ideal for leisurely walks. Jad particularly loved the hike up to the Baldegg. The traditional thermal springs also contribute to relaxation, offering perfect rejuvenation after an eventful day.
Furthermore, Baden scores points with its central location and excellent transport connections. This makes the city the ideal base for day trips throughout Switzerland – whether to the spectacular mountain scenery of Zermatt and St. Moritz or a side trip to Geneva. Every hour the is a direct fast train to Zurich airport.
Baden impressively demonstrates the diversity and range of activities that await visitors away from the major tourist destinations. Instead of staying in bustling Zurich, Baden offers the perfect balance of Swiss charm, vibrant culture, and nature.
