After breakfast at the hotel, today's tour starts at 08:30.
Baden-Baden is an important sightseeing city at the northern end of the Black Forest, the spa capital of Germany, with an elegant and ornate style that has attracted European aristocrats throughout history to spend their holidays. It has been a spa retreat for the red-turned aristocratic society since ancient Roman times, and has been visited by Queen Victoria of England, Bismarck, the first Chancellor of Germany, and Victor Hugo, among others.
Caracalla (inside visit) was named after the Roman Emperor Caracalla, a warlike man who loved hot springs. At that time, the Romans were fighting against the Germans, who were tenacious forest dwellers, and were ecstatic to find hot springs with a water temperature of 68 degrees Celsius. Today, however, the Baths of Caracalla are more like an ultra-modern spa. There are three indoor pools with alternating hot and cold water, and one of the large baths has direct access to the 2 marble-textured outdoor thermal pools. In addition, there are steam baths, solariums, aromatic steam baths, a salt-mist room and a rafting area. Caracalla also boasts a state-of-the-art German deep relaxation system, Blue Space, where beds with new in-built acoustic devices are laid out with the sounds of the forest in your ears, perfect for sleeping or taking a nap after a soak.
Heidelberg is known as one of the most beautiful cities in Germany, where the city, the castle, the river and the mountains surrounding the city are blended together in a picturesque way!
Heidelberg Castle (exterior visit), the castle built of red sandstone, weathered, suffered two lightning strikes and war destruction, once only the remains of the wall, and then restored to restore the appearance of the main building of the castle.
The Old Bridge, one of the oldest baroque stone bridges over the Neckar, is 200 metres long and connects Heidelberg's Old Town with the Neuenheim district on the other side of the river. From the bridge you can look up at Heidelberg Castle, with poetic views on both sides.
Heidelberg University Square, the square is located in the Altstadt area of Heidelberg's Old Town and is part of the Universität Heidelberg, a cultural and social centre for the city of Heidelberg.
