Two world-class spas: Friedrichsbad and Caracalla Therme. The two spas are operated by the same organization and are located only meters apart, but they offer completely different experiences and cater to completely different audiences. Friedrichsbad is a Roman-Irish bathhouse . Why separate men and women? Because Friedrichsbad, like most other German spas, is a strictly enforced “textile-free” zone where no clothing is permitted.

Caracalla Therme is modern . You can purchase admission to Caracalla Therme by the hour (up to three hours) or for the entire day, and you can choose whether or not to include the sauna facilities in your ticket In the battle between Friedrichsbad and Caracalla Therme, Caracalla Therme is Baden-Baden’s clear winner.
