not be pampered at one of the luxu- rious day spas at some of Baden- Baden’s spa hotels: dive into a rooftop pool overlooking the Black Forest, indulge in beauty treatments with natural vegan cosmetics, enjoy a luxurious sauna spa in the heart of the Lichtentaler Allee or book the royal treatment in art deco ambiance — the choice is yours.

A cultural afternoon outing Having emerged from the waters, it’s time to stimulate your mind. Along the Museum Mile at the Lichtentaler Allee, you’ll find the jewel of the park: the Museum Frieder Burda is home to famous modern and contemporary art by luminaries including Miró, Picasso and Pollock. Designed by Richard Meier this avant-garde building is a must-see for lovers of art and architec- ture, as is the glass bridge that links it to the historic State Art Gallery, itself a throwback to the belle époque era.
