Explore the UNESCO-recognised 'Great Spa Town' with your own private local historian — tracing the Kurhaus, Trinkhalle, Lichtentaler Allee, and Roman ruins that made Baden-Baden the summer capital of Europe. Tailored entirely to your pace and passions.
What to expect
Your private guide meets you in the heart of the Kurpark and sets the scene: this was the summer playground of Bismarck, Queen Victoria, Napoleon III, and Brahms. You stroll the chestnut-lined Lichtentaler Allee — one of Europe's finest promenades — past grand villas and rose gardens to the neo-baroque Trinkhalle, where you sample the legendary mineral water from its ornate fountain. The Kurhaus colonnades and Kurgarten are revealed in full imperial context. Roman ruins beneath the modern town connect two millennia of bathing culture in one seamless story.
Good to know

Tours depart from Kurhaus square. Wear comfortable walking shoes; the route includes gentle cobblestone sections. Allow 2.5–3 hours for the full experience.
