Kaiser-Friedrich-Therme
Built in 1913 as a municipal bathhouse on the site of a Roman steam bath, the gorgeous Kaiser-Friedrich-Therme are fed by water naturally heated to 66.4°C. Ask for a sheet in English on 'bathing like the ancient Romans' by availing yourself of a succession of saunas and pools. Bathrobes and towels can be rented; swimsuits are unnecessary as, in keeping with Saunakultur, this place is 'textile-free'. Actually, bathing suits are completely forbidden only in the sauna (you just wear a towel); elsewhere, nudity is merely a recommendation. Tuesday is for women only. The minimum age is 16.

Kochbrunnen
Want to actually taste the hot spa waters for which the city is known (indeed, named), said to have wonderful pharmacological powers? Head to the Kochbrunnen - inside the stone pavilion are four free-flowing spouts. A sign recommends drinking no more than 1L a day, though if you can down more than a mouthful you deserve a beer.

A long-standing local favourite in Wiesbaden, this restaurant serves traditional cuisine in a pub atmosphere. The streetside tables (in summer), free-flowing beer and convivial ambience make it well worthwhile.
