During the pre-Christmas season, the Fairytale Advent turns the centre of Bad Vöslau into an atmospheric Christmas market for the whole family.
In autumn, the spa town of Bad Vöslau celebrates its wine with a wine autumn week and culinary events, while the September Genussmeile of the thermal region runs past the area's vineyards.
Bad Vöslau is located on the edge of the Vienna Woods in Lower Austria and is widely recognized for its thermal springs and mineral water. The town's bathing history dates back to Roman times, reaching its peak popularity during the 19th-century spa boom. The historic thermal bath, completed in 1873, stands as a prime example of grand spa architecture and remains a focal point for tourism. In addition to its water resources, viticulture is a pillar of the local economy, with the town situated in the prestigious Thermenregion wine area. The Blauer Portugieser grape variety is particularly associated with the region's long-standing winemaking traditions. Vöslau Castle, surrounded by an extensive public park, currently houses the town hall and hosts various cultural functions. Its proximity to Vienna and excellent transport links have made it a favored residential area. The global reputation of Bad Vöslau is further bolstered by its leading brand of bottled mineral water, which is exported internationally.
The most pleasant time to visit is Jun–Aug.
