Lonely Planet review for Friedrichsbad
If it's the body of Venus and the complexion of Cleopatra you desire, take the waters in the sumptuous 19th-century Friedrichsbad. As Mark Twain put it: 'after 10 minutes you forget time; after 20 minutes, the world'. Modesty, rheumatic aches and the nudity of fellow bathers are soon forgotten as you slip into the regime of steaming, scrubbing, hot-cold bathing and dunking in the Roman-Irish Bath. With its cupola, mosaics and column-ringed pool, the bathhouse is the vision of a neo-Renaissance palace.
