Casino Bad Homburg
Casino Bad Homburg Review
Adjacent to the Kurpark, the casino boasts with some justice that it is the "Mother of Monte Carlo." The first casino in Bad Homburg, and one of the first in the world, was established in 1841, but closed down in 1866 because Prussian law forbade gambling. The proprietor, François Blanc, then established the famous Monte Carlo casino on the French Riviera, and the Bad Homburg casino wasn't reopened until 1949. A bus from south side of Frankfurt's Hauptbahnhof leaves every hour to every hour and a half between 2 pm and 1 am. Buses back to Frankfurt run every 1-2 hours from 4:30 pm to 4 am. The €6 fare will be refunded after the casino's full entry fee has been deducted. You must show a passport or other identification to gain admission.
