Cultural City Winterthur
For art and culture enthusiasts, a trip to Winterthur is a must. In Winti, as the locals affectionately call it, there is almost every weekend a small or large event taking place. The Albanifest, the Winterthur Music Festival Week, or the International Short Film Days Winterthur are just a few of the noteworthy events in Winterthur. The Technorama is worth a visit for science enthusiasts, both children and adults, in any weather. Here, playful learning and experiencing are at the forefront with over 500 experimental stations.
Baden, a spa town
Already the Romans built baths from the 47°C (116.6°F) warm spring water, which were used not only as a spa but also developed into a significant social meeting place. Under the Habsburgs, Baden even became the most famous spa town in German-speaking Europe. Today, you can experience the bathing culture up close at Heissen Brunne or at the Wellness-Therme FORTYSEVEN.
Schaffhausen
In the city for connoisseurs, you can experience beautiful hikes in the idyllic landscape, enjoy a glass of Blauburgunder (Pinot Noir), and visit the IWC Schaffhausen Museum. Just a few minutes' drive away is the Rhine Falls. Admire Europe's largest waterfall from Laufen Castle, by boat, or for the very brave, from the Adventure Park.
