From
Queen Victoria to the Vanderbilts, from Bismarck to Brahms and Berlioz,
they all came to Baden-Baden – the royal, the rich, the renowned and
the moneyed wannabees – to take the waters or lose their fortunes in
the casino.
Today Baden-Baden, at the foot of the
Black Forest, is the grande dame of German spas, ageing but still elegant. Sophisticated yet relaxed, it offers a
belle époque townscape
of palatial villas, stately hotels, tree-lined avenues, groomed parks
and chic boutiques. Many of the most delightful activities, such as
strolling, are free, and even the famous spas don’t necessarily require
deep pockets to enjoy (at one of them, deep pockets are banned
entirely).
