To be honest: If you are a party person, you will likely head to the neighbouring cities of Mainz and Frankfurt from time to time. Afterwards, you can truly relax in Wiesbaden by enjoying the sophisticated architecture, tasting a sip of healing water and taking a leisurely ride on the historic funicular up the Neroberg. This and much more makes the capital of the federal state of Hesse extremely livable.
Wiesbaden - the city between the rivers Rhine and the Main - is diverse and charming. Around 280,000 inhabitants, including almost 19,000 students, lend Wiesbaden its cosy at heart big-town feel. The capital of Hesse has 26 thermal and mineral springs that reach a temperature of up to 67°C. It is not for nothing that Wiesbaden calls itself the "City of Hot Springs" and a "World Health Resort".
If you like strolling through galleries or spending your free time in beautiful parks, Wiesbaden is the place for you! The large “Kurpark” with extensive green spaces, magnificent historical buildings and beautiful museums and galleries with famous collections gives the city a sophisticated flair. In the old town of Wiesbaden, affectionately known as "Schiffchen" because of its outline on the map (it looks like a small boat), you can stroll through narrow and winding alleys; here you will find inviting cafés, restaurants and shops. The Goldgasse is known for its limitless restaurant offerings and is the perfect meeting place for gourmets. For shopping, the best place is Kirchgasse. On the Rheinaue and in the Schlosspark you can relax with friends after a hectic day.
