About Baden Baden
The Spa Assembly Rooms
The spa assembly rooms and famously elegant casino form the focal point of the town, both architecturally and socially. In the spa park, the Lichtentaler Allee runs for several kilometres from the pump room to Lichtental Convent past the neo-baroque theatre. The old quarter is full of exclusive boutiques and cafés and is fully pedestrianised.
It is one of the most beautiful and most important buildings in the town, the spa assembly rooms are Baden-Baden's famous landmark. They are the social heart of Baden-Baden and the scene of glittering galas and balls, grand concerts and broadcast events.

Ruins of the Roman baths - museum of ancient spa culture
The Romans were the first to appreciate and make use of the hot thermal springs. Situated beneath the market square and the Friedrich thermal baths, the ruins of the Roman baths are now a museum of ancient spa culture. Almost two millennia old, they are among the best-preserved baths in Baden-Württemberg. The Roman walls are still over two metres high in places, and the ruins are so well preserved that visitors can see very clearly how the Romans designed their wall and underfloor heating. Computer and video animation show how the baths would originally have looked. 
Closed from mid-November to mid-March. Multilingual audio guide.

The Frieder Burda museum in the spa gardens in Baden-Baden is a real gem. The museum architecture itself, a unique design by New York architect Richard Meier allowing plenty of daylight to enter the building, is just as fascinating as the art collection it houses. Approximately 500 paintings, drawings, sculptures and objects trace the history of art over the last 100 years. The collection concentrates on Classical Modernism and German Expressionism, with works by Max Beckmann, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and August Macke. The late work by Pablo Picasso is closely related to German Expressionism.
