Belle Époque meets Instagram - is the headline the New York Times recently used to describe Baden-Baden – and it’s certainly true that today the city’s rich history blends seamlessly with a highly contemporary lifestyle. Baden-Baden is revitalising itself and attracting international visitors. What makes this small but impressively cosmopolitan city so appealing?
Baden-Baden was established over 2,000 years ago as a place for people to relax and reconnect with themselves. Water, light, earth and air are the city’s precious resources. Extraordinary hot springs, spas and nature, hotels of unparalleled quality – and the lure of the casino. Over the centuries, Baden-Baden has evolved into an enchanting destination, offering a spectacularly diverse range of opportunities for both relaxation and excitement.
During our private guided walking tour, we will take in one of Baden-Badens famous landmarks, the most traditional and best-known casino in Germany. The classicist Kurhaus of Baden-Baden has hosted the casino since the 19th century, and with its richly decorated halls modeled on French royal castles, it is part of a tradition that makes this casino unique. Baden-Baden's Casino has always been about more than just gambling: top-class gastronomy, dancing, enjoying the opulent atmosphere, outstanding cultural events, horse racing, seeing and being seen—all these have always been equally important elements of a very special casino experience.
