What Not To Miss

• Enjoy stunning views of the picturesque town with a ride on the 1888 Nerobergbahn Funicular - a charming railway that transports visitors to the top of the hill. The experience doesn't end with the views though - there's everything from a pool with a view to charming forest walks ensuring that it's a great day out for all.
• Experience some of Wiesbaden's most elegant architecture at the Kurhaus. Once a centre for healing, the building now hosts a casino and it's easy to imagine James Bond arriving at the majestic entrance. The gardens are also extremely well-manicured and are really worth a stroll around.
• Or for something a bit different but no less impressive, pay a visit to the impressive Russian Church sat atop the Neroberg hill featuring dramatic golden spires and ornate stonework. The church was constructed in the 19th century and offers a great glimpse into the diverse history of the region.
