Travelling in Baden Baden with a Car Rental

Built above naturally occurring thermal springs Baden-Baden continues to this day what the Romans started, over 2000 years ago on the same site, a place where visitors come to relax and unwind in the famous thermal waters, and spend their vacation without a care in the world. Located right near the centre of the town, you will find the ruins of the Roman baths, discovered in the late 19th century.

To experience the famous thermal waters of the area, jump in your hire car and take a short drive northwest from here, where you will have a choice of two spas that you can visit. The Friedrichsbad Baths, date back to the 1800's, and offer visitors a traditional spa experience, whereas the Caracalla Baths are the modern equivalent and are literally just down the road. Both spas feature a multistage relaxation treatment, combining saunas, massages, and of course heated pools, providing the ultimate stress relief for visitors.

A few minutes drive north of Baden-Baden with your rental car, you can visit another historical site in the area, Castle Hohenbaden which was built in the 1100's. Although in ruins since the 14th century, the castle is still quite an impressive sight and it's location on top of a hill provides spectacular panoramic views of the region.
