Guided tours are great – but in Baden-Baden guided tours in English are not offered on a daily basis. Therefore we have launched a touring app which enables you to explore Baden-Baden on your own. Our self-guided audio tour of Baden-Baden allows 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.
Baden-Baden once was THE place to be in Europe
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.
Our self-guided audio tour is not your typical city walk – instead, we try to keep our tour fun and entertaining and not overwhelm you with lots of historical data. We point out the not-to-be missed sights as well as some of backstreets only locals know about. Packed with lots of background info, local stories and recommendations on where to eat, shop and drink – you will get to know Baden-Baden as a local, not a tourist.
