Hessen

The German state of Hessen is the heart of Germany, and includes the city of Frankfurt as well as much of the Rhine River Valley. Boasting everything from Roman ruins to traditional German villages, the area is a popular choice for visitors wanting to get an authentic feel for the German culture. Hessen’s Upper Middle Rhine Valley was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002 and is home to scenic villages and wineries. Rhine river cruises are one of Hessen’s most popular tourist activities, with many stopping at towns along the river that are ripe for exploration.

Frankfurt and Hessen’s Capital Wiesbaden are two of the largest cities in the region. Home to towering skyscrapers, the modern-feeling Frankfurt is in stark contrast to the quaint village atmosphere of the Rhine Valley. Down the road, Wiesbaden offers more small town charm and beautiful architecture. Originally a spa town, Wiesbaden’s Schlossplatz square contains the city’s original town hall built in the 1600s, along with a number of other preserved historic buildings.

One of Wiesbaden’s most distinctive buildings is actually a casino. Featuring crystal chandeliers and traditional card games, it’s one of the most striking and sophisticated casinos in the country. The venue still requires a semi-formal dress code in the live gaming area to match the ambiance, and patrons must be 18 years or older and have a valid ID. Along with Poker and Blackjack, there are also slot machines, electronic roulette and more. In addition to Wiesbaden, Hessen also has casinos in Bad Homburg, Bad Wildungen and Kassel.
