Badeschiff – Outdoor pools

At the Badeschiff, leisure meets big city life in the heart of Vienna. No need to escape town to some hard-to-reach swimming pool to cool off. There’s a 27m long, 7m wide outdoor swimming pool on the deck of two barges moored at Donaukanal for you to dive into straight after work or uni. And when hunger comes nagging, you don’t need to abandon ship to satisfy it – the ‘Flying deck’ will serve you all kinds of tasty bites in the funky urban setting of the roof deck.
Badeschiff also hosts a decent restaurant on the main deck, a soccer cage platform (above the pool which provides some shade over it) and a bowling alley down below.

Swimming options for the serious swimmers: during the quiet times, you’ll often see some people doing laps up and down the 27m pool, however, most just turn up here to show off some summer skin.

How to get there:
Either with the metro to Schwedenplatz (U1, U4) or the tram to Julius-Raab-Platz (1).
