Combined admission to the baths and saunas costs €25 for two hours, €29 for three hours, and €39 for a day pass.

Baden Baden’s two main spas—Caracalla and Friedrichsbad Spa—have different policies regarding swimwear. To bathe at Caracalla Spa, you must wear swimwear at all times. However, Friedrichsbad Spa is traditionally a non-swimwear venue; if you’d prefer to wear swimwear, you can visit on a Wednesday or Saturday. Other baths and pool complexes have their own rules regarding swimwear.

The complimentary Baden Baden Guest Card—also known as a Cityticket—is given to all guests at Baden Baden hotels over the age of 6 years old. It’s valid for the duration of their stay in the town, and provides a wide range of discounts and benefits. These include free public transportation within certain zones, a guided city tour, discounts to some spas, free admission to one local museum, and more.

Many of Baden Baden’s spas offer various facilities and concessions for visitors with mobility needs. For example, Fortyseven Spa has accessible entrances, changing areas, showers, toilets, parking, and lifts for access to the thermal baths. Pool lifts are available at Caracalla Spa, but anyone requiring these must notify the spa at least two days ahead of their visit.
