“We knew straight away that we wanted to welcome you in Baden on this very weekend”, Klaus Lorenz tells us. Klaus is head of tourism of the city of Baden and always up for a joke (or two). He really enjoys hosting us to the splendour of his city, a city known for its imperial charm far across the regional borders.
The annual celebration #BadenInWeiss is unique in the whole of Austria. More than 30.000 guests take to the streets of an imperial city that has not lost a single ounce of its charm of old.
“This weekend, a special law passes”, Klaus tells us with a wink. “The party officially continues until 2.00 a.m.!” We laugh and join the party, all dressed in white: My friends & fellow travel writers from Germany & Austria are clearly enjoying themselves to #BadenInWeiss too. Baden beckons gourmet travellers, complete with a short Kaiserschmarren-Demo (yes!), a foodie hike through the famous Vienna Forests, chillaxing at the historic Roman Spa or at Baden Beach (!), Dinner & Casino as well as a most beautiful picnic in the rose garden of Baden. The so-called “Rosarium” is home to more than 30.000 single roses! “That’s just as many visitors as Baden welcomes on this weekend”, I think to myself, smiling, while enjoying the way my light summer dress floats around my hips. At almost 40°C, I am really grateful for the city’s motto #BadenInWeiss, and ever so impressed by the white, happy vibes. Check this out.

Not too long ago, I have visited and written about my stay in the area called Thermenregion Wienerwald, including Baden. Apart from my own home town Krems, the area around Baden really counts as one of the prettiest spots of Lower Austria!
