The article is based on documents from the Austrian archives, German-language periodicals of the late 17th century, and works by Austrian and Russian historians. The article gives a brief history of the resort of Baden. The Tsar’s stay at the resort took place during the stay of the Grand Embassy in Vienna and negotiations with the Austrian Emperor Leopold I. The article describes in detail the daily life of the Great Embassy in Baden, suggests hypotheses about the place of residence of Peter and his retinue, describes the memorable places of Baden, which are traditionally considered to be associated with Peter I. It is concluded that Peter I’s familiarity with the healing springs of Baden formed his interest in balneology, contributed to visiting other European resorts and creating the first Russian resort of Marcial waters.
