Bad Homburg

Bad Homburg located just 19 km northwest of Frankfurt on the slope of the Tanus Mountain is a lovely city to visit if you are in the area.  The city is known for its spas and Germans to flock there for rest and healing. It is also one of the wealthiest areas in Germany.  If you love cars, you will be impressed to see many luxury cars drive down the street along with many antic cars. While Bad Homburg does possess a castle, personally I think the city park is the crown jewel of the city. I will apologize in advance for all the photos.  I just couldn't choose.  Walking through the city park is like walking back in time.  My husband and I came upon a pavilion where musicians were playing music for the local crowd which was predominately the over 50. As we began to stroll through the park, I could just envision what it may have been like back in the 1840's when the town rose in popularity.  I could see the woman in their long dresses and parasols and men in their suits and hats maybe with a beloved dog in tow or a picnic basket in hand.  One gets the sense when in Bad Homburg that you are in a place of luxury.  Bad Homburg was a perfect place to spend our date.
