Did the guided tour for 10€ less 1€ discount from our hotel. It really is worth doing. The casino is absolutely stunning with a fascinating history. The tour takes 40 minutes and you are allowed to take photos. A nice interlude on a cold day.

NOT GOING BACK. SERVICE NOT SO GOOD, ONLY 1-2 Tables (Roulette & something else). Didn’t see BlackJack and above all, no one there to provide any material gestures of guidance or hospitality. Actually saw the 2 tables at about 3-4PM, and was totally unimpressed. Baden-Baden yes, Casino pass it. The architecture is fantastic, and the inside quite clean. The coat-check lady was nice; but the Admissions lady was definitely not nice. I was well-dressed in a black-leather jacket, tux-white shirt and a gold-laced bow tie. The B forced me to drop €10-20 on an unnecessary jacket rental; and was a snot about it. Reminded me of my first encounters in East Germany when The Wall was coming down. They thought of everything, but the people and what they might need. Walking away, I saw the Illuminati of the Casio Bar. What could go wrong here? They had everything, but a bartender; because the 3 or 4 of them were kind of in the back corner talking. No attention whatsoever to customers. As an afterthought, a bartender appeared. WOW. For the $$$$ they were charging I worried about buying dinner. Service = 5/10. Real nice place if you want to hold your mouth open, but if you came to play Blackjack or another game—you’d have more fun by a long shot at the Tampa Seminole Hard Rock Cafe (at half the cost). Not so cool. They have a lot to learn about taking care of the client. When I turned in my Jacket, Ms. N. Admissions was supervising the coat check lady with a specious, down-the-nose look. Really Surprised as was my darling. The surrounding promenade OUTSIDE OF THE CASINO was filled with Baden-Baden interest, history, and adventure.

The Baden-Baden casino is truly stunning: an elegant, refined place full of history, definitely worth a visit. However, what a strange idea to force men to wear a jacket in the middle of summer, with the heat unbearable and the air conditioning not really up to the task. In the end, you end up sweating more than betting… A shame that such an outdated rule slightly spoils the experience in such a prestigious venue!

Absolutely beautiful and unique casino. We were just doing the guided tour, but I had love to go on night to see the atmosphere...

Cool building architecture and park in front of the building, one of the oldest casino in the world (designed in 1824) gained its fame in 1830s when gambling was banned in France.

Absolutely gorgeous.. a must visit in Baden Baden!!.. it has a 200 yr old history.. the interiors are just amazing.. you could do a tour for a small fee earlier in the day or just soak up the casino vibes after 3pm. Even if you do not want to gamble you can always just get a drink inside 😉

Interesting building. I’m not a gambler and was there for dinner, but the interior is indisputably beautiful and well-maintained.

A nice funicular (railway cable-car) leading to a lovely mountain top with amazing view and nice spots for a picnic. Theres ride takes a few minutes. The tower at the top offers stairs or an elevator (however even with an elevator there are a few steps to climb). There’s also a restaurant there.

An absolute must. We walked from central Baden Baden to the station which was initially very steep. It then levels out. (Regular buses & lots of car parking). The view and walking trails are great. The cafe is reasonably priced. Naturally we scoffed a Black forest gateau which was excellent.

Very accessible by public transportation. The railway itself is amazing, and the view of the Black Forest from the top is stunning. An absolute recommendation!

Superb view from the top! If you are lucky you’ll see some paragliders take off from the cliff. The frequency of the mountain train is really good.

Great ride to wonderful views , walks picnic areas cafe bar restaurant worth the 7 euros adults family tickets also available

Good hike up the hill - steep! Paths are well done. Viewpoint at the top. The lake itself is tiny, takes less than 5 mins to walk around. Shops/restaurant quite expensive for the quality. Bit of a tourist trap.

Easily accessed in May, via great roads. Watch the corners. Has a restaurant, a shop and a short walk around a little lake. You can boat on it. It's a stopover for an hour or 2, great views.

The place to be for an amazing and beautiful view. You will keep it in your heart forever ♥️ …amazing food, delicious breakfast buffet, clean and comfy rooms, kind people, the BEST “Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte” aka. Blackforest cake. Enjoy 💋

Beautiful place to stop and enjoy a break. Woodland and lake walks plus restaurant and various shops. The walks are great. Everything in the shops looks top notch but is a complete tourist trap with high prices. However, if you see something you like, you probably won't be disappointed with the quality.

One of a kind experience. Reached on a drizzly afternoon. Small pathway to walk around the lake. Grab a cake from shop nearby and find a cabin to enjoy the view.

A small lake in the mountains with a hotel and gift shop where you can get Black Forest ham, cake and original hand crafted cuckoo clocks.

Mummelsee is a charming mountain lake located in the Black Forest, surrounded by legends and natural beauty. Its calm waters reflect the surrounding hills, making it a favorite spot for hikers and day-trippers. Visitors can walk around the lake on a scenic path, rent paddle boats, or simply relax by the shore while enjoying fresh mountain air. Local restaurants and shops nearby offer regional specialties and souvenirs. The mystical stories about water spirits add a magical touch, making Mummelsee not only a picturesque destination but also a cultural highlight of the region.

Went for the Yoshitomo Nara exhibition. A very nice building and great space right in the middle of town. The shop wasn’t great though, they should definitely needs to drop all the interior decoration crap.

Great exhibition of German Impressionism with Liebermann in main focus. We enjoyed it very much, even though usually we are drawn more to abstract, surrealist and post-impressionistic pieces

The museum is immersed in nature and it has been an amazing setting to discover the work of Nicolas Party, which is pretty much rooted in nature. The synergy with his natural landscapes and the contrast with the apocalypse and the decay of things that is a focal point of the artist has been quite magnificent. I did feel that the exhibition is rather small and restricted for the price of the ticket - although admittedly Nicolas Party created a lot of murals specifically for this museum, and I didn’t love the museum shop. I wish there were items on sale that matched the exhibition and the modern spirit of it, there were classic things on sale that you could find in any store out of this museum. I didn’t have coins with me and I couldn’t leave my jacket in the garderobe for 1 euro. I wish in the future this kind of details will be modernized. All in all a pleasant Sunday experience and I would recommend visiting if you have the chance.

Super nice museum and also very kind staff I highly recommend going here!!♡

The Pousette exhibition didn’t resonate with me. Feels like a market driven exhibition. The museum building’s design appears to be aging quickly and does not embody a timeless character.

Great contemporary art museum. At the time of my visit you could reserve a spot to be taken a portait by a robot arm. There were also audioguides available for 5 eur. There is not much information, and we did not take them but they could be worth it. We went with the Museumspass.

Nice looking museum in beautiful town of Baden-baden. Was nice to have visited, but the work they had on display at that moment wasn’t as cheerful and easy to appreciate as some of the more pop art like work you see on the Google review photos. Still had a nice time there.

Has an amazing view from the top.

Great place! Amazing view. The cable car that goes to the top is very efficient. Clean, fast, and reasonably priced. The restaurant at the top is pretty good. The beef and the fish were good, but the cake felt a bit old.

Beautiful place! Found rather easily a parking spot near the funicular entrance (on Sunday afternoon, late August), for free, and then bought a ticket (up and down) at the ticket machine for 8,50 euros (payment by card, but cash is also possible at the vendor). The ride itself is beautiful, and the funicular is very modern and clean. At the top, you’ll get lovely views (heard that sunsets can be amazing here), and you can parachute or take several hikes. There’s a restaurant/café and toilets up there. Highly recommended and so near Baden-Baden’s city centre, you can get here in less than 10 minutes.

What a great, spectacular mountain! Don’t forget to climb the tower that is on top of the hill! ( it even features an elevator) and is completely free of charge!! 360^ panoramic view from its’ top. Monoculars can be used for only 50 cents. The hike up there is quite steep ( coming from Stauffenberg). It is however a great walking path right through the forest and once up there, you’re rewarded with a spectacular view! You can also reach the mountain via car or cable car!

Ask about fog before you go up! We went up on the cable train only to discover that the view was completely blocked by fog (no fog at the bottom)... If it's foggy I don't think it's worth the trip up. Otherwise sounds like it would have been nice.

360° Alsace view

The Best place in the wordl!
