Wiesbaden in south west Germany sits on the banks of the Rhine river, not far from Frankfurt. The Wiesbaden means 'Meadow Springs', in reference to the fourteen hot springs that flow in the city- in fact it is among the oldest spa towns in Europe. During the Roman times, Wiesbaden had 26 hot springs, one of which was used solely for the army horses. Wiesbaden also produced red hair dye, which was very fashionable amongst Roman women. If you're considering car hire in Wiesbaden, then you can head out to Frankfurt and experience the culture in another German city. Hiring a car in Wiesbaden means you've only got yourself to rely on.
Wiesbaden has some amazing buildings, particularly around the Schlossplatz in the centre. The main palace was the home of the King of Prussia from 1866 to 1918, and was used to billet British forces after World War 1. There is also the phenomenal Kurhaus, meaning 'Bath House', which was built in the early 1900s, and looks just like a palace. If you're hiring a car in Wiesbaden, then be sure to visit see the Neroberg, a mountain that offers views of the whole city. There is a viewing tower on the site of an old hotel on the mountain, and the region also has its own vineyard.

It's only a 20-minute drive from Wiesbaden to Neroberg, and it's a relatively straight route.
