About Bad Homburg

An imperial spa town below the Taunus

Bad Homburg is a refined spa town just north of Frankfurt, known for its elegant parks, mineral springs and a history shaped by royalty, wellness culture and quiet prosperity. The town grew around its famous healing waters, which were already attracting visitors in the 19th century when European aristocrats came to “take the cure”.

That era left a lasting mark: grand villas, leafy promenades and the magnificent Kurpark, designed as an English landscape garden. Homburg Castle and its White Tower remain the city's emblem, a favoured retreat of German emperors.

Today Bad Homburg balances tradition with a modern, relaxed elegance. This website exists in 15 languages — use the flag menu at the top to switch.
