Updated on November 18, Are you looking for the perfect place to relax and unwind in Cologne, Germany? I know how stressful traveling can be and coming across the right massage therapy is not always easy.
Tucked in the beautiful Rhinepark is Claudius Therme, home to the city's own thermal spring since and Cologne's premier spa. The spring's mineral-rich water, filled with sulfur and iron, is recognized for its healing properties. Many, especially those with health concerns, swear by the positive effects on their heart, circulation, joints, and more.
Forget your towels or bathrobe? No worries. During my New Year's visit, I rented them straight from the cash desk. They've got slippers for rent too! There's a variety of baths, from indoor and outdoor pools to jacuzzis and healing pools. The highlight?
Sweating it out in the panorama sauna with a killer view of Cologne Cathedral. The atmosphere is serene, surrounded by lush greenery and right next to the Rhine. You can kick back, unwind, and let the thermal heat loosen up your tired muscles. Claudius Therme is open every day from 9 a. Sissi, the owner, isn't your typical massage therapist. She's a body whisperer, a massage guru, and a psychotherapy pro. Plus, she's the brains behind Myoenergetik , a mix of massage, acupressure, osteopathy, and meridian therapy.
What impressed us was her attention to my wife's shoulder problem. She didn't just do the usual routine; she took the time to figure out what would work best for her. The studio offers different treatments — from relaxation massage to specialized ones and even reflexology massage. Sure, it's not the cheapest option, but it's money well spent on feeling good. Don't worry, they hire Thai experts who really know their stuff when it comes to traditional Thai massage. What sets Thai massage apart is it uses gentle pressure and stretching to get your blood flowing and ease tension.
