Coccole termali e benessere alle terme di Bologna

Have you ever thought of Bologna as a destination for thermal tourism? We recommend you do so soon, because the varied and comprehensive offer of treatments in the Bolognese thermal circuit will surely satisfy your desire for psycho-physical well-being.

Thermalism has changed significantly over the years both in the field of healthcare services and in the context of tourism activities. In this context, the SPA wellness sector (etymology of the expression “salus per aquam,” basically “health through water”) is growing strongly, as demonstrated by the increasing “demand for wellness.”

Thermal baths and wellness

Thermal baths and wellness have become terms that are often confused until they become a single expression of an offer aimed both at tourists oriented towards the so-called wellness-relaxation holiday and at the local user seeking refuge from stress and everyday life. Today thermal baths are not only seen as therapeutic treatments but also and above all as wellness treatments.

The Bolognese Thermal Sea circuit has fully understood these needs with a complete offer revolving around thermalism, designed to help restore a psycho-physical balance. In the Bolognese thermal baths, thermal cures are based on the belief that mental well-being helps physical healing. The individual who lives in a relaxing environment and in perfect harmony with themselves manages to heal more easily or prevent disorders and diseases.

History of the Bologna Thermal Baths

The origin of the Bologna thermal baths is very ancient and dates back to the first century BC, when Emperor Augustus wanted the establishment of the first facility.

In the following centuries, with the renovation of the ancient Roman facility, the Corticella Baths at the beginning of the twentieth century, the Ravone and Casaglia Springs in the mid-twentieth century, up to the Felsine Baths, San Luca Baths, San Petronio Baths, Agritourism Baths and Acquabios Baths, Bologna has become the spa capital of Italy. All the baths in the Mare Termale Bolognese circuit are true healthcare facilities with professional doctors and waters guaranteed by ministerial decrees and regional authorizations.

Bolognese Thermal Sea Circuit

Opening hours of the Bologna Thermal Baths

In addition to weekdays, the thermal baths of the Bologna circuit are also open on Saturdays and Sundays, and some of them also have scheduled evening openings to allow everyone, even those who are very busy, to use their services.

Treatments in the facilities of the Bolognese thermal circuit

At the Bologna thermal baths, there are mainly three types of thermal treatments (medical fitness, classic thermal treatments and rehabilitation) to regain health and three types of thermal wellness (thermal baths, aquagym and aquawellness courses and aquatraining) for prevention.

In addition to thermal treatments followed by thermal doctors and specialized staff, each facility has multifunctional Technogym gyms where, under the supervision of doctors and operators, other activities carried out within the thermal circuit are integrated or replaced.
