“A bath, you say? After all that travel?” Right here, beneath our feet, lie the remnants of the R\u00f6misches Bad. Imagine weary Roman travelers, arriving in Zurich after a long journey from Como, over the Alps. These baths, discovered in 1983 during renovations, offered them their first chance to soak their tired muscles. This location was strategically chosen. The R\u00f6misches Bad sits near the Weinplatz and the Limmat River, where goods were transferred between ships. The river, once much wilder, was the main route north. These baths weren’t just a necessity, they were a social hub. The heated rooms provided a welcome respite from the journey and fostered a sense of community. This continued until the Romans withdrew from Zurich in the 5th century. So, as you gaze down at these ancient stones, imagine the laughter, the stories, and the feeling of utter relaxation that once filled this place. The R\u00f6misches Bad offers a glimpse into Zurich’s vibrant past and the enduring allure of a good, long soak.
