Kaiserbründl Sauna

About

Step into a realm of imperial luxury at Kaiserbründl Sauna, an essential stop on any traveler's gay map of Vienna. Located in a stunning historic building in the heart of the city, this legendary gay sauna—formerly known as the Centralbad—has been a cornerstone for gay men and the LGBTQ+ community for over 130 years. Spanning 1,700 m² across three magnificent floors, the venue is often cited as one of the most beautiful in the world, featuring breathtaking Oriental-style architecture and a "Temple" room that feels like a trip through history. Whether you’re looking to relax in the 90°C Finnish sauna, the gentle 65°C bio-sauna, or the action-packed steam bath, Kaiserbründl offers the perfect escape. For those seeking a bit more adventure, the expansive cruising maze, themed "prison" area with glory holes, and secluded darkrooms provide ample space for exploration. A highlight for many is the famous foam party held every Thursday and Saturday, transforming the space into a high-energy playground. Between sessions, you can enjoy a drink at the well-stocked bar or a full meal from their gourmet kitchen. With its unique mix of historic Viennese charm and modern queer culture, Kaiserbründl is a true landmark in Austria that promises an unforgettable experience for every visitor.
