Free map of public swimming pools in Vienna, Austria
You probably got used to this already – wherever I can, I create my custom maps of the best spots, travel plans, and guides through the countries. This time I prepared a map of all Public Swimming Pools in Vienna. This map is my extended version, with all the city’s water areas, swimming pools, and watersports places.
Map legend:
🔵 dark blue icon – you have all the swimming pools
🟢 green icon – shows all the natural spots where you can swim in the Danube
🟠 orange icon – indicates the spots where you can do all kinds of watersports in Vienna, including windsurfing, SUP rental, and kayaking
🔴 red icon – marks all the spots where you can rent a boat or a swimming island (yes, you are reading this correctly)
👯♀️The icon of two people without clothes – marks all the FKK places in Vienna. FKK (pronounced ‘ef-ka-ka’) marks places of “frei-körper-kultur,” or in other words, the nude zones where you can enjoy the swim and sun without the need to cover your body. Vienna is a very open city when it comes to nudity. While sunbathing and swimming in Austria, visitors will soon discover nudity is common.

How to enter Vienna Swimming Pools for the lowest price possible?
Before I get into all my recommendations, I need to share my “Summer in Vienna City – PRO TIP” which I use already for four summers in a row. Some swimming pools entry tickets are around 6€, but some are even 18€ (!), and there is a way to lower those prices. Each year I buy myself a myClubs subscription – “the unlimited package.” With this, you can enter every venue – 4x times per month. This way, I pay 99€ for four times entering ten swimming pools or more, and I have my gym classes in this too – this lowers my monthly spending and allows me to enter many swimming pools in Vienna for very little. White working full-time job anyhow I can’t go more than maybe 8 times per month. Then in September, I usually resign from my membership because I do not use it as much, just by writing them an email. It’s super easy.

PS. Here, when you scroll down, you can see all the swimming pools available with the myClubs.

The entry tickets include just the swimming area; you must pay extra for the fitness and sauna.
This swimming pool has some interesting history too! The swimming pool was mentioned in a letter by Emperor Franz Josef in 1838. In a letter to his brother Maximilian, he mentioned that he spent the whole day in the Obelisk’s water reservoir, now the Schönbrunnerbad, and learned to swim. At the end of the 19th century, an imperial swimming school was set up there. After the Second World War, the bath was used by the British occupying soldiers and only opened to the public again in 1955.

Swimming Pools in Vienna – Things you should know
There are free swimming pools for kids
There are special pools around the city that are free for kids, they are called Familienbäder. You cannot enter this area as an adult without kids. All children up until 15 years old can enter those places for free.
There is a swimming Pool on a boat on the Danube river
When walking down the Danubekanal in the 2nd District of Vienna, you may notice a swimming pool on the water of a Danube. Yes, you’ve read this correctly. You can enjoy a swim there and then go upstairs for a nice drink and a relaxing evening with a beautiful sunset. The Badeschiff (pool boat) offers the best way to go swimming right in the middle of Vienna city. The swimming pool is 27 meters long and open until 10.00 pm. Here is my Tiktok video of the pub above the swimming pool:

Bring your own equipment or not
Most of the swimming pools in Vienna offer free sunbeds – but you can get one only if you come early! Otherwise, 2 hours after the opening, they all will be taken. They are free of charge and usually just waiting on the grass for you to take them. Many people in Vienna bring their own equipment, games, picnic stuff, and sunbeds.
You won’t get hungry or thirsty at the swimming pool
All places mentioned above have restaurants, bars, or shops around them. Even if it is Sunday in Vienna (all shops are closed)- and you find yourself without shopping, you can buy all the necessary equipment or food during your day at the pool.
Nude swimming in Vienna
As I mentioned above, Vienna (or Austria) is a very friendly place for everyone who wants to enjoy their summer days without clothes or tan lines. Have a look at the map I’ve prepared of all Nude Zones in Vienna; they are marked with the people icon. If you want to avoid those places, just remember they are usually marked with FKK “frei-körper-kultur” (free body culture).
