We chose the Friedrichsbad Roman-Irish baths over the Caracalla Spa as we prefer a peaceful and…read morecooler temp adult only environment (Caracalla allows children on the first floor where the cooler temperature baths are, mainly hot 90 degree Celsius saunas on the adult only 2nd floor). Friedrichsbad is 39 euro and had no time limit (recommended 3 hours, we skipped a few of the hotter saunas and the colder pools/plunge so were done in about 2.5 hours). Swimsuits are required on Wednesdays and Saturdays. On Sunday when we went, no swimsuits are allowed. The staff checking us in was informative, explaining the gradual warm up and cool down style of Roman-Irish baths. It was a calming and relaxing experience, our favorites were the hottest pool (room 9), the next cooler small whirlpool bath (room 10), and the coolest large whirlpool bath (room 11). By the time we left at 8:30pm, staffing was slimmer so we didn't get wrapped in hot towels to end our experience, but I still went into the relaxation room and got a warm towel on my own and it was a pleasant way to end the day.

What an experience. I've never done anything quite like this, and I'm eager to try it again…read more The baths do a nice job of combining luxury and the historical character of the original building and experience. You start off in a changing room, then move progressively though saunas, steam rooms, and thermal baths that get progressively warmer to raise your body temperature, then progressively cooler (culminating in a dunk in very cold water) to bring it back down. Along the way, you are scrubbed with a stiff brush to exfoliate your whole body. Some words to the wise. First, like many German baths, this is a coed nude bath, so be prepared for that. Second, it is not the same as the gentle pampering people may expect elsewhere. You're largely on your own in the baths, spas, and saunas, but the staff can be very businesslike as you move through the processes. Don't take it personally - they do a lot of turnover each day, and generally leave it to you to navigate the process - and you will leave feeling refreshed, relaxed, and invigorated!

Pools filled with natural mineral water of varying temperatures, under lots of natural light from the dome. A sauna and massage unit in different rooms, there is a variety of areas to lounge. I didn't see any children, I believe 16 is the minimum age here. There are waterfalls and swimming areas outside and I hear this is open all year. The water is warm so even if the air is freezing, you will be comfortable and exhilarated by the variance. Upstairs is a clothing prohibited area for a few extra euros for those who are adventurous. I was. For an American this is for the very mature and open minded. I love to people watch and experience the culture from a non tourist perspective. This was not an American nudist beach where everybody is 60+. All ages from probably 16 up since I believe 16 is their technical adult age. But a wide range of people. There were outside areas that led to saunas, a hot tub and bar to grab a drink. Everything was charged to your waterproof bracelet (no where else to hold a wallet or purse, flip flops and towel only). Very relaxing and free. Loved it!

We thought it meant it would be packed but for the most part it was a good amount of people. The amount of saunas and Dampfbads is really good and the temperature range didn't disappoint. The place is a literal maze to walk through, which brings mixed reviews. Everywhere you go is themed which is cute. Downfalls: more showers and hair dryers in the bathroom would be nice. More places to lay down, or someone checking that people aren't hogging the daybeds the entire time just by throwing their towels down.

This was an amazingly relaxing experience. I found them on line and emailed them for an…read moreappointment. They responded that night, in English, and confirmed an appointment for the following night. During my appointment time, I was literally the only client, which was wonderful. They are a small boutique spa place where they can only accept a very limited number of clients at a time. This means you really get to enjoy and relax during your experience instead of feeling rushed or being disturbed by others. I got the the package deal where I got a 30 minute soak in the jet pool with essential oil, then 60 minute full body massage with herbs and oil, and a 30 minute head and neck massage. I felt so relaxed and zen by the end of my treatment that I'm trying to plot out how long should I wait to do it again. They are located on the 3rd floor of an unassuming office building. There is an underground parking garage you can use or a few limited street side parking. If your appointment is after hours, you will need to be buzzed in. I comminuted via email with Claudia who speaks both English and German. I ended up calling them and Claudia verbally walked me through the process of how to get into the building. Matthias, the masseuse, welcomed me and both he and Claudia gave me a tour of the facility, which can accommodate a couple's retreat. As for the treatment, I first selected the herbs I wanted to use for my massage, then the oil for my bath, finally I selected the hot tea I would be sipping during my soak. You can go full nude or wear a swimsuit. I was somewhat unprepared and didn't bring a suit, which worked out better in the end. Matthias was super professional as he worked on all the little muscles. He first diagnosed my back at the beginning of the treatment and then worked on issues during the massage. It felt wonderful. I really LOVED my experience there and can't wait to make an appointment with them for the next time.
