About Baden-Baden
Baden-Baden on the edge of the Black Forest has been a symbol of European bathing culture since Roman times and has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage of the Great Spas of Europe since 2021. The elegant spa town combines a cosmopolitan flair with healing thermal springs and a cultural scene that is second to none. German and international guests walk in the footsteps of Fyodor Dostoevsky, who tried his luck at the legendary casino, Johannes Brahms, who composed some of his most beautiful works in Baden-Baden, and Queen Victoria, who regularly visited the summer capital of Europe. The Caracalla Spa and the historic Friedrichsbad with its Roman-Irish bathing ritual offer relaxation at the highest level. The Lichtentaler Allee, a 2.3-kilometer-long park boulevard along the Oos, is considered one of the most beautiful promenades in Europe. The Festspielhaus is Germany's largest opera house and attracts world-class artists.
