You step out of the car into cool spa-town air, and the Belle Époque facades of Baden-Baden look like a town with stories to tell. The river lightens the stone and the trees along Lichtentaler Allee seem to guide you toward the Kurhaus, past the Trinkhalle’s frescoed arcade and the hush that hangs over the old casino.
