Bad Ragaz owes its popularity to its thermal springs which have therapeutic properties for treating rheumatism and respiratory disorders. The town is also a surprising destination for good pizza. The Monica's pizza restaurant has been operating in Bad Ragaz since 1679.
The spa at Bad Ragaz has indoor and outdoor pools. The old town covers a small area. It has a parish church built in the 18th century. Inside are Baroque wall paintings. The town hall of Bad Ragaz displays paintings of Bad Ragaz and its surrounding areas.
Of late Bad Ragaz has become increasingly popular as a sports destination, with visitors coming for golf, tennis and hiking in summer, and skiing on the slopes of Pizol in winter.
