I was bored last weekend and therefore I decided to travel to the town called Baden. It is a smaller town in northwestern Switzerland.
If you going to visit Baden walking through the old town is a must. There are a lot of bars and restaurants where you can have a drink or eat something. You also can find a lot of stores for shopping. I was there on a Saturday and I was able to see the weekly market. It is a smaller market, but you can find everything you are looking for on a market. (different kinds of local food, drinks, or useful accessories for example)
After visiting the old town you can walk down to the river. I was there in the morning, so it was not very crowded, but on a sunny day at the weekend there are usually a lot of people, so if you want to have a more quiet and more romantic walk along the river you should make sure you are going there in the morning.
There are a few points where you can find great panorama spots. My favorite ones are at the castle of Baden and at the restaurant “Torre Grill” The views over the city are great.
As already said, the best place to have a drink or eat something is in the old town. There are multiple places with all kinds of different foods. Because I lived a long time near Baden I was already at a lot of restaurants there. Here is a list of my favorite Restaurants for a different types of foods:
Burger
I love to eat Burgers, even if I like to do it by myself the most. I can recommend the Burger Restaurant “Burger Bar Manito”. It is a smaller restaurant with only view tables. If you are looking to visit Manilo it could be possible that you have to wait to get a table, especially at the weekend.
Asian food
If you are looking for Asian food, especially sushi, “Sayori” is the place to go. And next to it there is a bar called “Mojo bar & lounge” where you can have a drink after your meal. Both places are well decorated and have their charm. they’re located directly next to the train station.
Tapas
If you are looking for a smaller snack the tapas bar “Mira, Vino y Tapas” is the best place for you. They serve a lot of different tapas and even wine if you want to (I do t drink alcohol, therefore I didn’t try the wines).
For Meat lovers
I already mentioned “Torre Grill” for its view. It is a great restaurant. It is at the top of a business building with a great view and a rooftop. If you love meat “Torre Grill” in Baden is a great choice for you.
Compared to other cities Baden is a smaller town with its charming old town and plenty of restaurants and stores. On Saturdays, you can join the market down the old town.
Walking along the riverside is beautiful and I can recommend that when you go to Baden. There are a lot of different types of restaurants where you can eat well.
If you have a few hours left to spend and you don’t know what you should do Baden is a great place to visit. But it is not in my top places to visit. Everything you can find in Baden you can find in other towns with even more things to see and to do.
