Euganean hills: Spa region of European importance
Abano Terme, Montegrotto Terme, Battaglia Terme and Galzignano Terne – these are the four major spa resorts in the Euganean hills. They all enjoy a good reputation in Europe and are the destination of numerous spa holidaymakers, the chronically ill and athletes looking for relaxation. They hope for adequate relief from their pain through the healing water. Even the Romans knew about the healing power of thermal waters and built extensive spa facilities, the remains of which can still be visited today. Almost all hotels in the spa towns have their own thermal springs and beautiful water parks that will make your stay in the region a real experience.
