The city
The largest thermal spa in Slovakia, on the banks of the Váh. The waters emerge from the ground at almost 70 °C and, together with sulfurous mud, are used in treatments for rheumatism. The baths are on the Spa Island, linked to the centre by the Colonnade Bridge, where the sculpture that became the symbol of the town stands. The Balneological Museum tells the history of the spa.

The local experience
Covered pedestrian bridge over the Váh, built between 1930 and 1933 by Emil Belluš, a landmark of Slovak functionalist architecture. It links the town center to the Spa Island and, at the town end, displays the spa’s symbol, a figure breaking its own crutch.
Island between two arms of the Váh where Piešťany’s bathhouses are located, such as the Napoleon and Irma spas, surrounded by gardens and paths. It is walked or cycled.
Museum of the history of Slovak spas and the Piešťany region, in the old spa ballroom from 1893, inside the city park. Includes archaeology and ethnography exhibits.
