Sauna at Heldenplatz: What the Action in Vienna Serves As

Right in the middle of Heldenplatz in Vienna City, you could relax in a specially set up sauna on Tuesday. Until the evening, it was possible to sweat there for free, announced the operators, the Association of Styrians in Vienna. "We want to show how you can optimally unwind, pour water on the stones, and relax even in the middle of Vienna," said chairman Andreas Zakostelsky in a statement. The event served as an advertisement for the Styrian Ball on January 9, 2026.

Unusual Event: Sauna at Heldenplatz in Vienna

For the first time, this Styrian bio-sauna officially opened its doors at Heldenplatz. A dedicated area was created on the historic square for this purpose. "Here, the executing architect and the Federal Monuments Office did an excellent job. There was a lot of willingness for compromises from both sides," Zakostelsky recounted. Christian Contola, managing director of the Tourism Association Thermen- & Vulkanland and operator of the sauna, also said, "no one would have believed us that a Heldenplatz sauna in Vienna would ever be possible." "Sitting in the sauna, seeing Heldenplatz, the Heroes' Gate, the Natural History Museum, and the Parliament was simply amazing," was the reaction of the first visitors.
