Quality of LifeThe growing number of recent arrivals confirms the attractiveness of Canton Aargau as a residential canton. In comparison with overall Swiss averages, Canton Aargau counts significantly higher numbers of families and young people. Several medieval castles and manorial palaces testify to an eventful past: the family seat of the Habsburgs, as well as the palaces of Lenzburg (Schlösser Lenzburg), Wildegg and Hallwyl with their attractive exhibitions are to be found here. The internationally-renowned Aargau Art Museum in Aarau, with a comprehensive collection of Swiss art, and the impressionist collection in Museum Langmatt in Baden are well worth seeing. Aargau does honor to its name as „Canton of Culture,“ since a broad offering of events can also be found in smaller cities and communities – from readings to exhibits to musical and theatrical performances. Aargau offers athletes virtually unlimited possibilities: the largest network of cycling trails in Switzerland, more than 1'500 km of hiking paths, several golf courses and an airport in Birrfeld. Four thermal baths in Rheinfelden, Baden, Bad Zurzach and Schinznach Bad offer ideal possibilities for wellness and relaxation. Aargau Tourismus can provide you with excursion tips and information on recreational and accommodation possibilities. |
