Baden-Baden, The summer residence in Europe

The city of Baden-Baden, also known as “The summer residence in Europe” is one of the most famous tourist spa resorts in the world. The city has a long history dating back to the Roman times. During the centuries it has developed as a main spa center for local and international tourists. The city is particularly impressive with its elegant buildings, casino, public thermal baths and the international horse race.

We visit the Baden-Baden by direct train from Freiburg. The connections are regular and the distance takes about one hour. Baden-Baden is also good connected to some European cities by its airport.

The central train station is located far away from the city center but is good connected to the main city attractions by regular buses.

The city center is impressive by its green areas and parks. 

Unique green nature paradise.

At every step we encounter small, fine shops, elegant buildings and parts of the city history.

The first stop of our tour is the impressive building of the Kurhaus.

Kurhaus is the glamorous building of Baden-Baden and its gardens are the best place for a relaxing stroll.

Situated close to the Kurhaus is the Casino of Baden-Baden. It combines history, tradition, flair, elegance. Particularly impressive is the sparkling atmosphere in the magnificent gambling room.

The impressive park in front of the casino.

Taking the steps up from the main square, we go to the Stifskirche.

The church impressed us by its ornamentation and is one of the most remarkable buildings in the city. We take the stairs and climb to the big terrace above the hill. From here we admire breathtaking views over the natural park Schwarzwald.

Baden-Baden with its environment, world-class cultural and art activities is definitely the best spa city we have ever visited. There are very few other cities that possess such an exceptional cultural and natural heritage.
