Baden-Baden

I will be vacationing in Heidelberg just for 3 days. Would taking a bus from the city to Baden Baden be the most economical versus a train and how long a trip? I dont' seem to be able to find any information on buses that travel there. Appreciate any information you might have.

We tried to go to Stourdzakapelle, but could not find it. Instead, we reached behind Trinkhalle, on Stourdzastrasse , a small mausoleum (?) or chappel (?), on the front of it is written something like "so wie wir furs vaterland geffallen...", you can see via a small window, inside a big cross and two tombs. Can somebody please explain me what is this monument, whom are the tombs and also how we had to go from there to Stourdza chapel?

I am flying to Karlsruhe-Baden airport by Ryanair on a Friday evening, landing at 21.35. It appears that the 205 bus to Baden-Baden town centre will have stoppped by then. Is, therefore, a taxi the only way to get to get to the twon centre at that time of night? Thanks Hugh Evans

I have been to Baden Baden before but didn't make it to the Caracalla Therme or Friedrichsbad. I'm hoping to make a trip there again later this month for a long weekend. Would it be best to try both places on different days? What is the typical etiquette inside the spa, completely undressed after a locker area, towels are provided, etc? Are robes and slippers provided or available for sale? Should I plan to wear swimming attire in some parts of the facilities? If I schedule any treatments, is tipping expected?

My girlfriend and I will be staying in Baden Baden for a few days over New Year to chill out after Christmas. Can anyone recommend a bar or a club for the evening? Somewhere lively, with a good mix of music, where we won't be made to feel uncomfortable as foreign tourists. We're in our thirties, so we're not ready for early nights just yet, but we don't want a place filled with 15 year olds. We're staying somewhere in the town centre so we'd prefer to avoid trying to get a taxi anywhere. Thanks and I'll try to post a review on my VT page when we get back.

Hello, I live in London and I need to be in Gerardmer in France at the end of january. The cheapest solution for me is to travel to Baden-Baden airport with Ryanair. I saw on internet that Strasbourg was 70km away from Baden-Baden. Is there a bus or a train that connects Baden-Baden and Strasbourg? Or even better Baden-Baden to Epinal in the Vosges? What's the url for coach transport in Germany? I also saw there was a train Banden-Baden to Paris, where can I get its trajectory? So that I can see in which towns this train stops. Thanks in advance. regards Alexandra
