There’s plenty of sights in Wiesbaden, spanning from architectural wonders of bygone eras to more modern attractions. St. Bonifatius Church, Frauenstein Castle and the Marktkirche are all examples of timeless structures that are definitely worth visiting. The collection on display in the museum of Wiesbaden only augments this sense of culture further. The Hessisches Staatstheater is the official theatre of Hesse and is one of the most renowned in Germany as a result. Not only does this theatre boast a similarly rich history, but also stages numerous performances throughout the year. For those of you who just simply want to chill out and relax, The Rettbergsaue is a natural island in the Rhine River. Here you can find football pitches, basketball courts, BBQ areas and playgrounds. You can even camp!

Wiesbaden was built by the Romans 2000 years ago, after they discovered the miraculous thermal springs that they clearly couldn’t live without. The city became an instant attraction after the first bath houses were built and managed to flourish thereafter. The building of castles and fortresses followed, before Emperor William II oversaw the cultural development of the city. The architectural revolution paved the way for many great poets and musicians to follow suit, making Wiesbaden one of the most elegant cities of the Wilhelminian era. Luckily, many of the buildings still stand today, having somehow managed to escape the clutches of 2 world wars.

Like any modern day city, Wiesbaden has plenty of bars and nightclubs. Manoamano seems to be a spot that appears again and again. This is a cocktail bar that seems to have a real swagger, open Monday to Friday from 19:00. And before you even ask – Yes. Of course there’s an Irish pub. A great spot for expats and Germans alike, where your karaoke skills will be tested but never judged. Another reason Wiesbaden rose to European prominence throughout the ages was gambling, so you’ll also find a stylish, Kaiser Wilhelm II inspired casino in the heart of the city. There seems to be something for everyone in Wiesbaden after the sun goes down. Travel by bus to Wiesbaden and experience a classic German city.
