Bad Homburg was the first town to have both British inventions on the continent as the British empire sent its VIPs to the spa in the city and they wanted to enjoy what they were used to in their home country. Was quite famous for its spa and sold around the turn of the last century already some 150 British newspapers per day! The guests came by horse carriages even from Bad Nauheim, another spa next door. All the royalties of those days came for a holiday … those days are gone. Now the VIP of the banking and finance world live here or in the other Taunus villages and create an atmosphere of stiff upper lip. It is okay but they dominate the city and there is not much to do after 20.00. The parks are very beautiful and worth a stroll, so is Taunus Therme. Do not miss the Saalburg on the hill towards Wehrheim. That is Roman history in our days. World Heritage well worth it.

Tiny tiny place, but for those who enjoy music from the late 60’s, 70’s and 80’s this is a chance to hear it all and dance to it, if you can. Open till 04.00 … insider place, hard to compare with anything else, it is just UNIQUE!

This is the place I would recommend for time travels … one of the best places I have ever seen and enjoyed. There is no hotel so plan in advance where to stay. All superlatives will not match my feelings walking around the streets. Humbleness will express my inner sentiments best. A good attitude, I think.
