Iffezheim International Racecourse, one of the finest racecourses in Europe, stages international horseracing three times a year, at the "Spring Festival", the "Great Festival Week" and the "Sales & Racing Festival". Go as you are or don a fabulous hat, it doesn't really matter; Baden-Baden's International Horse Races are extra-special events that everyone can enjoy.

A safe bet for fun and excitement
This trio of race meetings make for a memorable experience, just ask the 180,000 people that come every year. Relax, enjoy a flutter, and soak up the festival atmosphere in the elegant surroundings of one of Germany's finest racecourses. Since 2000 Iffezheim Racecourse has also staged Volkswagen's Baden Grand Prix, which is part of the World Series Racing Championship – the Formula 1 of the horseracing world.

Welcome to Iffezheim, the home of horseracing in Germany. Iffezheim is situated just north-west of Baden-Baden on the 30-kilometre-wide Upper Rhine Plain in the Ortenau region. With its electrifying atmosphere, the racetrack is also popular outside the world of horseracing. Iffezheim barrage meanwhile is a European Community project, and its fish ladder brings salmon, sea trout and shad several steps closer to home.

Immerse yourself in Baden-Baden's vibrant history. The town's fascinating "Cultural Mile" should be your first port of call, while Baden-Baden Theatre is great is you're a fan of the stage. Lichtenthal Convent meanwhile is a haven for those in search of a place of contemplation.
