Baden-Baden UNESCO World Heritage The Great Spa Towns of Europe

Welcome to the UNESCO World Heritage Baden-Baden - "Great Spa Towns of Europe"

The town of Baden-Baden was founded 2000 years ago to do people good. In the 19th century, it became the "Summer Capital of Europe" - and this splendor continues to this day.

Baden-Baden has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021 as an important spa town of the 19th century, along with ten other "Great Spa Towns of Europe." Since ancient times, everything here has revolved around the beneficial thermal waters. The town developed around the springs, attracting international visitors since the 19th century and still has a vibrant spa culture today.

Baden-Baden also became a world-class spa town thanks to its famous casino and was celebrated as the "summer capital of Europe". Whether Sissi, Dostoyevsky or Marc Twain - they all fell in love with the smallest world city at the foot of the Black Forest. With its gambling, bathing culture and exclusive offers for leisure and pleasure, Baden-Baden is one of the world-famous "gaming spas" of the 19th century. Baden-Baden shaped an atmosphere in which artists found inspiration.

Today, this great history meets modern living culture and is alive throughout the city: Whether in the Roman-Irish bathing temple "Friedrichsbad", during a carriage ride along the blossoming Lichtentaler Allee or under the glow of the chandeliers in the casino.
