Baden-Baden Hotels with Fitness Center

Palais des Festivals occupies an honorable place among the sights of the city. The wonderful palace was opened in April 1998. Nowadays this beautiful building is home to cultural institutions – an opera theater and a concert hall. Palais des Festivals can accommodate up to two and a half thousand visitors at a time. We have the full right to call the palace the most ambitious institution of its kind in Germany. If you want to visit the family homes of notable people, move your feet to the house-museum of Johannes Brahms, a famous German composer. Brahms lived in the city for just nine years.

Every two years the museum organizes a holiday dedicated to the memory of the great composer.

The first floors of many homes have been turned into open air restaurants and cafes, so you can pleasantly combine the inspection of architectural attractions with the degustation of the national dishes.
