Iffezheim Racecourse
Rennbahn Iffezheim
Germany's most prestigious racecourse, opened in 1858, which draws elegantly dressed crowds for its spring meeting and its "Big Week" in late summer.
The racecourse was founded by Benazet, a former operator of a Paris casino, and is part of Baden-Baden's high-society tradition. It is open only during the spring meeting, the "Große Woche" (Big Week) from late August to early September, and the autumn meeting in October. During these events, there are elaborate hat competitions, food stalls, and summer dining. General admission tickets cost about 10 to 15 euros, and shuttle buses run from the city center on race days.
