Wiesbaden

Wiesbaden is the capital of Hesse, although it is not the biggest city in the region. All places of interest are located in the center, within walking distance


Basically, all located around the Market (Palace) Square: former City Palace, The Old Town Hall (1608-1610), New Town Hall (1905) and the Protestant Market Church (1853-1862). In August, the wine festival is held here.






The most famous building in the city is Casino. It is widely known after the novel Player (1866) by Dostoevsky who played here many times. One of the halls is named after him.






Resort Park is located behind the casino.










There are also few small parks in the city center.

In 4 km from the train station, on the banks of the Rhine, there is another point of interest, Biebrich Palace (google.maps). The former princely residence was built in 1700-1750. There is no free access inside, but you can walk in the park. We got there on foot, but you can use bus (http://bahn.de) to the stop Biebrich Schloß, Wiesbaden.
