The Amalienbad in Vienna's Favoriten neighborhood is an architectural landmark. It is simply one…read moreof the most beautiful indoor swimming pools ever constructed. It was built in the early 1920's by the Socialist government in Vienna as they developed a network of indoor and outdoor pools all over the city. Swimming has always been one of Vienna's main sports pursuits. You can notice this at the scores of beaches in the summertime that are filled with hundreds of thousands of people on a hot day. But in colder weather, we turn to the fine municipal indoor pools. Of course today, the Amalienbad has a full spa attached as well as other health and fitness activities. And underneath the main pool is a regulation training pool for competitive swimmers to train in. So after 100 years the Amalienbad is as busy today as it was on the day it first opened its doors.

The pool is build inmidst of the park of Schönbrunn and it is quite good to do some real swimming (like in a sporty way). Included in the entrance fee is a pallett. You can also choose a more expensive ticket and use the affiliated gym.

Has a 25m pool with 4 lanes. Not comfortable to swim in soon, because gets full of people often.read more

This is the worst bath house I have ever been to. This place is the nearest bath house to me in…read moreVienna, but everytime I have been there I have gotten rejected by the grumpy staff-lady (the same one every time), even though it says on the plaque outside AND on the bad's webpage that it is OPEN for my age group (I'm in my 20s) during the hours I have tried visiting. It wouldn't be half as bad if the lady working the desk would care to at least TRY to explain to me why I'm not allowed into the bath house during the times I have tried visiting (I've been there at different times and weekdays, so there's no logical explanation for it being closed all the time, or I'm just plain unlucky each time). She is always looking at me with contempt and a "you are dumb for even trying"-tone when she says it's closed, whether it's the sauna or the swimming pool. NOT RECOMMENDED, a real dump that should replace some of their staff members and give proper information to the people intending to visit their place.

Unfortunately, during the afternoon there are way too many people, it'll be impossible to swim comfortably. Nice and big sun tanning area too. They also have a huge slide for kids and a baby playground and pool as well as a restaurant where you can grab a quick bite ;))

I really love this place for a relaxing Sunday or an after-work treat. The facilities are very…read moreclean, and there are multiple pools depending on your preferred temperature and ambiance, both indoor and outdoor. The prices are reasonable (especially for an American--we're not used to cheap day-spas.) I can't speak to the quality of the salon, massages, etc. as I haven't indulged, but I'll amend my review if I do sometime. My only complaint is that, the last time I was there, there were quite a few very loud teenage boys running around, slamming their chairs around, yelling, etc. and nobody from the staff stepped in to ask them to quiet down (we were not in the children's section of the Therme!)
