My first time in Friedrichsbad, although I've been many a time at Caracalla (I live in Strasburg). Thanks to the reviews on this site I knew what to do. I went there on a Saturday evening when the place is fully co-ed. A bit odd to fully undress in the locker, get out, store your clothes and then walk alone... more

First trip to the Friedrichsbad - went on a Sunday which is the day it is mixed sex throughout, and was directed to the right-side changing area, which I understand is usually the female side. Consequently my first experience was standing completely naked next to a fully-clothed female attendant who described the layout of the place to me in some... more

Just returned from a 10 day whirlwind trip to Germany with my significant other. Part of the trip included a two night stay in Baden-Baden and a visit on Sunday to the Roman -Irish spa. I mention Sunday because this is the day when the spa allows male/female couples to be together through the entire spa facility. Other writers have... more

I decided to give the Friedrichsbad a try after seeing it in a Rick Steves guidebook and on his PBS show. The guidebook is very specific about the steps involved in going through the bath. Step one was exit the locker naked. If Rick hadn't explained that part, I would have been very lost as there are no directions to... more

We have to agree with the positive reviews given by others. Perhaps reading too many reviews had raised our expectations too high because we found it an excellent, unique experience but not out of this world. We were prepared for the nudity and neither my wife or I found it an issue. The soap massage was very good and you... more

It was a great once in a lifetime thing to do! Just like the Romans did, and boy you felt like it. Get the brush shower, an extra 3 euro, but worth it! You do feel amazing after a day at the spa. We also did a load of service through the spa. The one we most enjoyed was the... more

Having been operating in a very stressful environment the last six months, a friend had recommended that I headed to one of the spas in Baden-Baden. After investigating the issue, I had found the two main spas were Caracalla and Friedrichsbad. Based on past recommendations on this site, I had to go to the Friedrichsbad Spa. Everyone's initial worry about... more

OK....one of life's great experiences might be a bit strong, but certainly this was at least one of life's most interesting experiences. Yes, you have to get naked in front of strangers but the awkwardness wears off in about 2 minutes. During the first stages men and women are separated as you move from room to room alternately sweating, showering... more

Other reviewers capture the essence of this place. Imagine Harrods Food Halls combined with showers designed by Isembard Kingdom Brunel and a sense of natural tranquility that will send you to sleep in the final stage (wrapped up in blankets and left in a darkened room). Fantastic. I went in the morning and spent the rest of the day in... more

This is an unmissable experience. I couldn't quite work out the real difference between the mixed and non-mixed days (since both sexes always get to be together in the centre whichever day you go). But the soap and brush massage is great, as is the wrapping up at the end. If you don't mind being naked in front of everyone... more
