What to do and see in Baden-Baden, Baden-Wurttemberg: The Best Sights & Landmarks
Nestled at the foot of the Black Forest in South Germany, Baden-Baden is a chic destination for those who fancy a dip in its famous salt- and radon-rich thermal hot springs. The town has been a popular destination for so long that it's starting to show its age, but not to worry. It's still very classy, picturesque and well-maintained. (The Dame Julie Andrews of German spa towns, if you will.) Sporty types will find an abundance of opportunities to enjoy golf, tennis, horseback riding and skiing nearby in winter.

The upper castle was built by the by Margrave Hermann II around the year 1100. Under Margrave Bernhard I of Baden (1372-1431) was the Gothic lower castle, which was extended by Margrave James I (1431-1453). It's a little walk from the parking lot, it's a slight uphill, but literally 5 minutes and you're in the castle. When we were there, no one else was, 8:00 PM on a Thursday evening. The restaurant at the base of the castle had people in it. We loved roaming around and imagining how it must have been in medieval times. Keep wandering too, you can go all the way to the top tower with unbelievably gorgeous views. This place was free and it was unforgettable. Lots of scaffolding and reconstruction work was happening when we were there in late June of 2019.

The ride on the funicular railway is fabulous, the views from the top of Merkur are stunning, nice cafe at the top for a beer and snacks (or a meal). This is a Baden-Baden must do. Can't recommend highly enough. You can get the bus from town, or its about a half hour walk (very hilly on the way there, lovely walk back though!)
9. Stiftskirche Baden-Baden

There are lots of little, beautiful things in this town. This church is actually a main reason to visit Baden-Baden. An Imperial document from 987 provides the first proof of this church. The west tower of the church dates from the first half of the 13th century. The appearance of the church has changed several times due to alterations and the destruction from the town fire of 1689. The church's remarkable interior today includes a sacramental house from around 1490 and a crucifix by the important sculptor Niclaus Gerhaert von Leyden from 1467. There’s a pretty sandstone sculpture from 1490, of Saint Christopher holding Jesus on his shoulder. Comparing German churches to Italian, the German churches are positively drab! This one does have some nice art in it though.
