On this self-guided walking tour, you’ll hear the fascinating stories behind this spa town and trace the footsteps of the aristocrats who made it their personal playground.
Why did the Romans develop Wiesbaden’s public baths but never live there, and what made Prussian royalty holiday in the town for months on end?
The tour starts at the Bowling Green opposite the Kaiser-Friedrich-Denkmal Memorial. You’ll discover how Dostoevsky lost and regained a fortune at the Hotel Nassauer Hof’s famous gambling tables, and how a Prussian Kaiser transformed Wiesbaden into a world-renowned destination in the late 1800s.
The tour ends at Markplatz, where I’ll show you three examples of Wiesbaden’s unique architecture: the quaint medieval old town hall, the extravagant New Town Hall, and the Evangelical Market Church Wiesbaden with its chiming carillon bells.
