Entertainment sights in Germany

  1. A

    Baden-Baden Theater

    The Baden-Baden Theater is a neo-baroque confection of white-and-red sandstone whose frilly interior looks like a miniature version of the Opéra-Garnier in Paris. It forms the gateway to Lichtentaler Allee, an elegant park promenade which follows the flow of the Oosbach from Goetheplatz, adjacent to the Kurhaus, to Kloster Lichtenthal about 3km south.

    Even today, it's not hard to imagine the movers and shakers of 19th-century Europe - aristocrats, diplomats, artists and writers - taking leisurely strolls along this fragrant avenue.

  2. Legoland Deutschland

    A sure-fire kid-pleaser, Legoland Deutschland is a pricey Lego-themed amusement park, with shows, splashy rides and a miniature world built from 25 million Lego bricks. It's in Günzburg, 30km northeast of Ulm, just off the A8 and served by bus 850.

    Amphitheater

    The Roman Amphitheater was once capable of holding 20,000 spectators during gladiator tournaments and animal fights - or when Constantine the Great crowned his battlefield victories by feeding his enemies to voracious animals.

  9. United City Stages of Krefeld and Mönchengladbach

    The theatres of Krefeld and Mönchengladbach merged in April 1950, making the current company the oldest joint company in Germany - a fact they are very proud of. Offerings include music, ballet and theatre. If they are as enthusiastic as they say, enthusiasts won't be disappointed.
