What to do in Rheinmunster

Train Station Square is a spacious plaza that lies in front of the city’s modern railway hub. Diagonal pathways cut through patches of grass and lead to Strasbourg Station. Arrive early at the station and wait on the lawn or bring a picnic to the square and watch the world go by around you.

Strasbourg Cathedral is an extraordinary masterpiece of late Gothic design. The distinctive pinkish hue and intricate detailing of its monumental sandstone façade make it stand out from the buildings surrounding it. Inspect one of the largest astronomical clocks in existence inside and climb up 332 steps to reach the cathedral’s viewing platform.

Choose between several different ways to pamper yourself in Caracalla Spa. The complex stretches over an acre (4,000 square meters) of woodland at the foot of the Florentine Hill in Baden-Baden. Mineral water from 12 springs beneath the hill bubbles up in a network of pools, saunas and grottos that will both invigorate and relax the body.

Parc de L'Orangerie is the ideal family spot, with its mini-zoo, playgrounds, green open spaces and large lake. This charming park spreads across 64 acres (26 hectares) of scenic grounds surrounded by architectural treasures from the European Union. Test the capabilities of your camera as you attempt to capture the range of bright colors in the floral arrangements dotted around the park.

You don’t have to gamble to appreciate the beauty and opulence of Casino Baden-Baden. The legendary venue, once described by the actress Marlene Dietrich as “the most beautiful casino in the world,” feels like a palace inside. Extravagant paintings and sculptures decorate the walls and ceilings of its main rooms. Put on your smartest clothes and spend an evening playing well-loved games in this spectacular setting.
