Discover Baden-Baden
Accommodation in Baden-Baden
Baden-Baden combines thermal waters and World Heritage with gardens, culture and wine-growing. The city can therefore be explored in different ways: from a stay centred on the thermal springs to walks and music, or wine tastings in the Rebland wine-growing area. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Baden-Baden, these interests can help shape the character of your stay.
Thermal Waters and World Heritage
Thermal water is part of Baden-Baden’s distinctive identity: it rises from twelve springs at a depth of around 2,000 metres. The springs supply up to 800,000 litres of water a day, at temperatures of up to 68 °C. The history of Europe’s spa towns also shapes the city: in 2021, Baden-Baden was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the “Great Spa Towns of Europe”.
The Caracalla Spa offers thermal pools, saunas, steam baths, relaxation rooms and an outdoor area across 5,000 square metres. If you are interested in the spa tradition, it is a concrete example of how Baden-Baden brings this theme to life through different bathing and relaxation areas. When planning your trip, you can focus on the spa experience or combine it with other aspects of the city.
Gardens and Walking Trails
The Lichtentaler Allee connects the historic Old Town with Lichtenthal Abbey. Well-maintained, wheelchair-accessible walking trails run along the Oos. Five walks pass through different neighbourhoods of Baden-Baden’s World Heritage area and offer further perspectives on the city. You can choose between a stay focused on individual cultural sites and a trip where walks play a larger part.
Another green spot is the Gönneranlage, a historic garden laid out in 1909 and covering 1.6 hectares. More than 11,000 rose bushes grow there, representing around 300 varieties. Its specific variety makes the garden a destination in its own right for anyone who would also like to discover landscaped garden spaces during their trip. Together with the paths of the Lichtentaler Allee, Baden-Baden offers various ways to include culture and activity in your stay.
Culture and Performance Programme
The city’s cultural venues also each have their own character. The Kurhaus Baden-Baden is an architectural gem in the heart of the city. Casino Baden-Baden is one of Europe’s most venerable casinos. The Festspielhaus Baden-Baden offers a programme ranging from classical music and jazz to opera and ballet. If you like to plan cultural activities into your trip, you can use these different offerings to decide which themes will shape your stay.
There is also a direct connection from the railway station to one specific destination: bus routes 201 and 216 go straight to the Augustaplatz stop, which serves the Frieder Burda Museum. The City Train offers a convenient way to explore Baden-Baden’s sights. Both options give you different ways to plan visits and discoveries around the city.
Wine-Growing in Baden-Baden’s Rebland
The surrounding area also includes Baden-Baden’s Rebland, a wine-growing region where Riesling is cultivated. Culinary wine tastings take place in the cellars of the local wineries, where winemakers offer insights into the production of wine. This adds another trip idea to the city and spa experiences. When choosing a holiday apartment in Baden-Baden, you can first ask yourself whether thermal waters, gardens, culture or wine-growing interest you most—each theme adds its own distinctive accent.
