Once the summer capital of Europe, this elegant destination has been attracting visitors to its thermal waters since Roman times. The town's historic Friedrichsbad and Caracalla spas offer relaxing experiences in stunning architectural surroundings.
Beyond the famous spas, Baden-Baden boasts impressive cultural attractions like the Festival Hall, which hosts world-class classical concerts, and the Museum Frieder Burda with its impressive modern art collection. The Belle Époque Casino, described by Marlene Dietrich as "the most beautiful casino in the world," offers a glamorous glimpse into the town's past as a playground for European aristocracy.
Walking through Baden-Baden feels like stepping into a different era. The well-preserved 19th-century buildings line tree-shaded avenues, while the Lichtentaler Allee, a 2.3 km park and arboretum along the River Oos, provides a peaceful green escape.
