Wiesbaden
Germany's most favoured spa resort lies about 25 miles (40km)
west of Frankfurt in a valley between the Rhine River and Taunus
Mountains. The town has been a spa resort since the time of the
ancient Romans, with its 26 hot springs averaging temperatures of
around 50°C (122°F). Besides being known for its luxurious spa
hotels, Wiesbaden is also a cultural centre, its events being
concentrated around the major Kurhaus concert hall complex. The
complex includes a casino and restaurant, conference and exhibition
facilities.
Information & Facts
Language
German is the official language. English is also widely
spoken and understood.
Money
The unit of currency is the Euro (EUR), divided into 100 cents.
ATMs and exchange bureaux are widely available. The major credit
cards are becoming more widely accepted in many large shops, hotels
and restaurants, although Germans themselves prefer to carry cash.
Travellers cheques are best cashed at exchange bureaux, as banks
often won't change them. The quickest and most convenient way to
change money is to obtain cash from one of the ATM machines that
are ubiquitous features on all German streets. Banks are closed on
weekends, but exchange bureaux at airports and main railway
stations are open daily from 6am to 10pm.
Time
GMT +1 (GMT +2 between the last Sunday in March and the last
Sunday in October).
