About Bad Kissingen
Bad Kissingen in Lower Franconia has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2021 as one of the significant spa towns in Europe and has a spa tradition spanning over 500 years. The town on the Franconian Saale was the most elegant spa resort in Europe in the 19th century - Bismarck spent 15 summers here, Emperor Franz Joseph and Tsar Alexander II honored it with their presence, and the magnificent spa buildings from this golden age still shape the town's image today. German wellness travelers and culture enthusiasts find a unique combination of healing brine springs, splendid parks, and Franconian lifestyle here. The monumental Regentenbau with its concert and ballroom, the historic Wandelhalle with its drinking fountains, and the expansive Rosengarten with over 10,000 roses form an ensemble that recalls the great era of European spa culture. The KissSalis Therme combines modern wellness with the charm of this traditional site.
