Car rental in Baden

Driving Tips in Baden

• Speed limits: Standard limits are 50 km/h in urban areas, 80 km/h on country roads, and 120 km/h on motorways – quite different to the UK's 30, 60, and 70 miles per hour respectively!
• Traffic rules: Switzerland has some unique traffic rules. For example, unless otherwise stated, priority is given to vehicles from the right. Additionally, it's compulsory to have your headlights on during the day.
• Parking: Parking zones are indicated by white, yellow, or blue lines. White is free, blue requires a disk (obtainable from police stations or garages), and yellow is often reserved or prohibited.

Choosing the Right Car

The right car can enhance your experience in Baden tremendously. A smaller car might be perfect for the town's narrow streets, while an all-terrain vehicle could be beneficial if you're planning to explore the panoramic outdoor settings.

Exploring Baden Attractions

Some of the must-visit attractions in the Baden region include the stunning Limmat River, the fascinating remains of Stein Castle and the tranquil Kurpark. For a more laid-back experience, enjoy a restful soak in the town's famous thermal springs.

Surrounding Cities

With your trusty rental car, you're free to explore away from Baden too. Nearby Zürich, and Luzern are just a one-hour drive, offering vibrant culture and spectacular views respectively.

Weather and Events

Baden experiences a mild, temperate climate, similar to the UK's. It hosts a number of seasonal events, including the charismatic Fasnacht Carnival in spring and the Badenfahrt Festival, which happens once every ten years.

Money Matters

Switzerland uses the Swiss Franc (CHF), not the Euro. Most places do accept debit or credit cards, but it's always a good idea to have some change on you for parking meters or roadside food stands.
