The Daruvarske Toplice complex is located at the very heart of the historic public garden, just a few minutes walking distance from downtown Daruvar. Water treatments benefiting health were well known to Iassi tribes here almost 2500 years ago, later widely used by Romans and in the Middle Ages. In 1772, Daruvar stepped on the next level, and the town became a healing, leisure and recreation centre. Today, Daruvar Spa (Daruvarske Toplice) is a special health complex for rehabilitation and rejuvenation. Warm waters are also used in postoperative rehabilitation, treatment of inflammations, rheumatism, the trauma of bones, hips, head, spine, and locomotion. But they are equally popular for wellness treatments.

During the Greco-Roman period Daruvar area used to be part of the Roman province of Pannonia, where a settlement by the name of Aquae Balissae (Latin for "strong springs") was erected due to the proximity of the thermal springs, which were often visited by Roman emperors. Today, it is a water oasis of the most beautiful small town in Continental Croatia.
The long tradition of health tourism in Daruvarske Toplice, a rich tourist offer, the Daruvar wine trail, Aquae Balissae Thermal Waterpark, well-tended public gardens and Roman Park, a forest in the heart of the city, all prove to be excellent reasons for visiting this town with a long urban tradition.
