In addition to the great personalities who have shaped Wiesbaden, it is also the hidden, almost forgotten history of interesting and committed Wiesbadeners that makes up the atmosphere of the city as it can be seen and felt today. Nostalgic garden festivals in the Kurpark, artists, writers and poets who found inspiration in Wiesbaden and whose traces have survived to this day. One thing is certain, there are many significant stories to tell that connect the people of the past with those of today. Here, stories of history can be experienced authentically and anew.

Browsing through narrow alleyways and small shops. Tasting the diverse culinary delights - meatballs with caviar crunch, the world-famous pineapple tartlet, a large selection of fresh cake creations in Germany's 1st original Viennese coffee house or the pleasant aroma of coffee from several coffee roasting houses that have been in operation for generations. Creativity is evident everywhere in the form of small-scale art, handicrafts, studios and galleries and welcomes you with serenity. Each district is unique in its own right, and together they all create the authentic atmosphere of Wiesbaden - elegant and down-to-earth at the same time.

Wiesbaden is home to an exciting variety of culture and art. Cultural life ranges from opera and chamber music to rock concerts and drama, ballet and comedy, classical painting and abstract art. The city's short distances invite you to be curious and go on a journey of discovery to get to know the diverse cultural scene. Even a stroll along the magnificent streets, historic quarters and villa areas, which are often home to cultural institutions, is an experience in itself.

Even the Romans knew how to do something for their health: they relaxed with a pleasant bath in Wiesbaden's thermal waters. The city owes its rise to the status of "world spa town" in the 19th century to its 26 hot springs and their healing effects. Even today, the thermal water can still be felt everywhere and provides relaxation and regeneration. There are also numerous parks, riverside paths along the Main and Rhine as well as the surrounding forests and valleys, which invite you to take a deep breath, move and slow down. Nature in the immediate vicinity of the urban environment is one of the city's most charming and defining advantages.
