Overview

Bad Homburg is a spa town just outside Frankfurt in Hesse, Germany, with a sizeable castle and old town, thermal springs, and a casino frequented by kings. Known for its 'Champagnerluft und Tradition' and as the origin of the homburg hat, it offers a wealth of attractions without the capital-city chaos.
