Tour Overview
Welcome to Baden-Baden - the most famous city in The Black Forest.
Baden-Baden once was THE place to be in Europe in the 19th century. A playground of the rich and famous.
It was then known as ‘The Summer Capital of Europe’. And without a doubt, Baden-Baden was the most elegant and sophisticated city in Europe at that time. It is not surprising that Europe’s first luxury hotel was opened here in Baden-Baden.

Guided tours are great - but they often don't give you any flexibility on where to stop and what to see. Our self-guided audio tours allow you to choose the sights you want to see, skip the ones you find boring, go back to something missed. Or even pick up the tour on another day. It's all up to you.
Starting Point. This walking tour starts where the baths are located - between Caracalla and Friedrichs Bad. If you turn the GPS on your phone on and enable 'location events' in the app under 'Profile' - then 'Settings', then the audio will play automatically once you get close to Caracalla.
Good to know. This tour is neither wheelchair-friendly nor stroller-friendly. You will go up and down several stairs to get to the various sights in town.
