Welcome to Bad Homburg, a beautiful city at the bottom of the Taunus hills. Situated between meadows, forests and fields, Bad Homburg is a quiet, green and peaceful town, but Frankfurt, the next major city, is also easily accessible by public transport.

Whether you want to explore the area as a family, couple or alone, whether you like sports or culture - there is something for everyone!

If you would like to take a closer look at the city's history, you should not miss Bad Homburg Castle with its white tower and park. The castle can best be explored during a guided tour. Tickets are sold in the castle shop. Special highlights for children are various activities, such as Halloween in the castle, which you can read about primarily in the newspaper. From the white tower you have a wonderful view of the city, the Taunus mountains and the skyline of Frankfurt. In the castle garden a friendly café under venerable cedars invites you to linger. For culture lovers, a visit to the castle church, where concerts are regularly held, is also a must.

The Louisenstraße invites you to stroll along with its numerous shops, cafés and restaurants as the main shopping street and city centre. Here you will find everything you need for everyday life.

The Jubiläumspark, on the other hand,with its extensive meadows, invites you to linger, picnic and play ball games,and children will also love it, as there is also a large adventure playground. In the park there is also a miniature golf course, which is very popular. The tennis club and the royal Bad Homburg golf club are also located in the parl. For those who seek luck in the game, the casino is the right address. The casino has a long tradition in Bad Homburg and even the nickname "Mother of MonteCarlo". On the other hand, you can really relax in the Kaiser-Wilhelms-Bad, a spa in a historical ambience. And the two Thai Salas should not go unmentioned either.

On special family days you can meet people dressed up as Romans and learn about life in ancient Rome. Hessenpark is also a popular destination for excursions - the open-air museum consists of reconstructed buildings from the last centuries and invites you to take a walk through Hessen's history.
