Description

The Old Town Stories walking tour takes you through around 2,000 years of Baden’s history. You’ll find out how the Romans made use of the thermal springs by the bend in the Limmat. Baden was later granted town privileges and became an important centre of the Swiss Confederacy.

As you explore, you’ll discover historic walls and the narrow lanes of the Old Town. You’ll visit the Federal Diet Hall and see the city church and Switzerland’s oldest railway station from the outside. Along the way, anecdotes tell you more about the Federal Diet meetings and Baden’s tradition as a conference venue. The tour ends at the Town Hall.
