We like the Caracalla Spa in Baden Baden. Easily found on Google. Can't think of a more relaxing way to spend a day - various pools, steam room, hot baths, sauna. They have a separate section upstairs in which you are not supposed to wear anything (although my wife always keeps her towel on). Incredibly relaxing place.

It's Friedrichsbad for us -- have you been?

We have not. Considered it many times, but always decide to go to the Caracalla instead. I have heard great things about the Friedrichsbad so maybe someday

I thought of the OP while reading this article in today's New York Times. The gist of it: Every spa has its own set of rules and almost everyone needs a little guidance the first time they visit a new spa.

Strange article -- the writer doesn't say if he ultimately enjoyed the experience or not. He seems to have spent most of his time at the spa worrying about people seeing him naked and worrying about not knowing the protocol and procedure. Too bad for him, because Friedrichsbad is an amazing experience!
