Bad Homburg, Germany

Bad Hamburg was one of the first places we went that was outside of the Wiesbaden-Mainz area.  We went with some family friends, Dale and Holly Feagin, and pretty much just walked around the town and looked for a place to eat.  It might not sound that fun, but walking around town in Germany is much different than just walking around a town in the US.  You never know what kind of old building you might stumble upon.







We actually never visited this town in the day time, and the first time we went, we actually missed most of its main attractions.  But to give you a little overview of the town, here's an excerpt from http://www.inyourpocket.com/germany/

Rumored to house the most millionaires per capita in Germany, luxury, relaxation and tranquility seem to be the name of the game in Bad Homburg. With exquisite Baroque-influenced architecture and the huge sprawling Kurpark (spa garden) throughout the town, it couldn’t look more different than Frankfurt. It’s officially called Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, ‘before the Heights’, as it is located at the foot of the Taunus mountains, an extremely popular weekend walking spot for Frankfurters. For centuries Bad Homburg has been home to celebrity visitors, princes, kings and queens, writers and czars, all looking for a bit of relaxation and recuperation in its amazing natural springs, or looking to lose a fortune at the famous casino, as Dostoyevski famously did in 1867 and documented in his novel The Player.
