Places to see in ( Wiesbaden - Germany )
Wiesbaden is a city in the western German state of Hesse. Its neoclassical Kurhaus now houses a convention center and a casino. The Kurpark is an English-style landscaped garden designed in 1852. The red, neo-Gothic Market Church on Schlossplatz is flanked by the neoclassical City Palace, seat of State Parliament. Museum Wiesbaden displays expressionist paintings by Alexej von Jawlensky and natural history exhibits.
Lined with magnificent neoclassical buildings that were rebuilt after WWII, Wiesbaden, the state capital of Hesse, is one of Europe's oldest spa towns, with hot springs still flowing today. It's 40km west of Frankfurt, across the Rhine from Mainz. Wiesbaden's name translates as 'meadow baths', reflecting both its thermal baths and beautiful expanses of parkland. The city lies at the eastern edge of the Rheingau wine-growing region, which stretches along the Rhine's right (northern) bank west to the Rüdesheim area of the Romantic Rhine.
Renowned Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821–81) amassed huge debts at the city’s gambling tables in the 1860s, which inspired his masterpiece, The Gambler. Home to the European headquarters of the US Army, Wiesbaden has a strong US military presence, with around 19,000 US citizens based here.
Wiesbaden is a historic spa city which has catered to people from countries near and far for many centuries, back to the Romans who knew it as Aquis Mattiacis. Wiesbaden is one of the oldest spa towns in Europe with 26 (today: 14) hot springs.
Today it is part of the larger Rhine area and profits from its proximity to the Frankfurt Airport and the business centre of Frankfurt. During peak times (trade fairs, conventions, etc.) a lot of business travellers stay in Wiesbaden instead of in Frankfurt and relax from the busy metropolis in this smaller city with a charming old city.
Wiesbaden is very well connected by many highways from Frankfurt, Cologne or Mainz. Trains travel frequently and are very enjoyable. Travel times by car are roughly 15 min (from Mainz), 30 min (from Frankfurt), or 2 hr (from Cologne / Köln).
