Bad Ems, Thermal spa town in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
The town stretches along both banks of the Lahn River, surrounded by wooded hills and featuring numerous mineral springs reaching temperatures up to 57 degrees Celsius.
Bad Ems received its town charter in 1324 and later became a preferred destination for European nobility, including German Kaiser Wilhelm I and Russian Tsars.
The Marble Hall within the Baroque bathing castle served as a meeting point for nobility and artists, hosting cultural gatherings since the early 18th century.
The town maintains direct train connections through Bad Ems station on the Lahntal railway, while a funicular takes visitors to the Bismarckturm observation point.
The town houses Germany's oldest casino, established in 1720, which displays its original roulette table in the local museum.
