The market surrounds the the cathedral in the center of the old section of town. The market gives the square a vitality with vendors selling local, seasonal produce, flowers, food, and other products. Concerts on the cathedral's organ occur every Saturday morning and feature both traditional and contemporary works. You can take tours of the cathedral by the docents and even visit the workshop where new stonework is carved using traditional tools.

Very nice clockmuseum, explaining the evolution of clock making from wooden clocks to the atomic clock in the blackforest region. Great artifacts, good arranged, some still working, great display of huge cuckoo clocks. Handpainted clock faces, showing the local skills.

The New York architect Richard Meier described Museum Frieder Burda in Baden-Baden, which opened in October 2004, as a “jewel in the park”. Along the famous Lichtentaler Allee, he created a unique architecture that is bathed in light, in which the interior and exterior, contemporary art and romantic park landscape are in constant dialogue. Spread over four levels, Museum Frieder Burda presents artworks from the 20th and 21st centuries in changing exhibitions. These focus, on the one hand, on themes and artists relevant to the collection, for example, Pablo Picasso, Max Beckmann or Sigmar Polke. On the other hand, they also present current contemporary positions such as those of Andreas Gursky, JR and Katharina Grosse. The museum is funded by Stiftung Frieder Burda, a foundation with full legal capacity under Germany’s Civil Code.

The museum is beautiful, modern and has received award in its architecture. It is white and with glass with lots of lights located next to the beautiful park in the centre. It is just 2 or 3 minutes walk from the town centre and shops. At the time when we visited, there were a few temporary high quality exhibitions so there was no space for the permanent collections. The main exhibition was Karin Kneffel who is the top student of Gerhard Richter. The exhibition was absolutely brilliant. The shop was very nice and sells high quality goods. There is a coffee shop and through the other end of the coffee shop is another museum, Staatliche Kunsthalle which unfortunately we did not have time to visit. We enjoy this museum and the temporary exhibitions very much.
