No other destination has maintained its reputation as the "Summer Capital of Europe" for centuries like Baden-Baden.
This small but cosmopolitan city, located at the northern edge of the magnificent Black Forest in Germany, was a golden retreat for European royalty, politicians, writers, musicians, and the international jet set during the Belle époque.
The city gained UNESCO World Heritage status in 2021 as one of the Great Spa Towns of Europe and continues to attract visitors from all over the world, especially during the summer months.
From Michelin-starred restaurants to small traditional bistros, Baden-Baden offers a variety of culinary delights to satisfy any appetite.
You can also sit in a cozy wine tavern and sip a glass of local Riesling from the sun-kissed Rebland wine region surrounding Baden-Baden.
Summer smells like roses, and over the centuries, Baden-Baden's blooming calling card has become world-famous for its abundance of exotic varieties of flowers and trees.
Warm summer evenings invite you to dine al fresco, and the pedestrianized city center hosts numerous parks and gardens, especially at the G?nneranlage and the must-see Lichtentaler Allee, a 3 km green oasis, perfect for enjoying the fresh countryside air during an after-dinner stroll with a handmade ice cream in hand.
The Rose Society Garden is extraordinary in summer, with its over 400 varieties of roses in full bloom, and equally unforgettable is the intoxicating fragrance they emit during the summer months.
During the summer, numerous events take place, and over 300 top-level performances are staged at the Festival Hall Baden-Baden, Germany's largest concert and opera house, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.
From July 4 to 7, 2024, the legendary Baden-Baden summer festival will be held right in front of the Kurhaus.
