Discover Bad Homburg by Hire Car
The more than 1,200-year-old residential town of Bad Homburg lies at the foot of the Taunus Mountains and is one of the best-known health resorts in Germany.
The magnificent 44-hectare spa park is home to a number of ferruginous saline springs and is also the venue for the international “Fugato” organ festival and a worthwhile sculpture exhibition featuring renowned sculptors, not to be missed.
Sights in Bad Homburg
Relaxation and recreation can be found in the Schlosspark Bad Homburg. During long hikes and walks in beautiful surroundings, you can give free rein to your soul and recharge your batteries for everyday life.
From the observation tower of the 591-metre Herzberg, you also have a fantastic view over the city. The Gothic House in the Dornholzhausen district promises a cultural afternoon.
This now houses a hat and coin museum, the town archive and a café. Other highlights in Bad Homburg include the Russian Chapel from 1896, the Kurtheater and the imposing Landgrafenschloss. Located near the Elisabethenbrunnen fountain in the spa gardens is the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Bad, where you can relax like royalty.
This is how princes and kings once travelled to Bad Homburg to relax and recharge their batteries. In front of the entrance is a 3.50-metre-high monument to Kaiser Wilhelm I, and inside you’ll encounter impressive rooms with precious tiles and mosaics.
An unforgettable journey into the past is offered by the Saalburg, which once served as a fort for the surveillance of a section of the Limes in the Taunus. On this journey through time, you can get a vivid picture of the history, culture and way of life of an era that dates back nearly 2,000 years.
