The best road trips past Europe’s most famous casinos
The best way to travel through Europe is, of course, with a road trip. You can get into your own car from the Netherlands and drive along the most beautiful places. In a few hours you are often in a completely different world and this makes a road trip extra attractive. But did you know that you can make a very nice road trip along Europe’s most famous casinos? Not only can you gamble in a casino, but you can also visit great cities. Are you curious which casinos you will encounter? We have made a super cool route for you!
Start simple and spend a night in Breda
This road trip starts first with a short trip to Breda. Of course, it depends a bit on where exactly you live how long this trip will take. We recommend spending a night here as well. After all, Breda is home to one of the finest casinos in the Netherlands. Of course, you want to experience this especially in the evening so an overnight stay to continue fresh tomorrow would be smart. Then pay a visit to the Holland Casino Breda. This casino is built in a former Monastery Barracks and in the past the Nuns literally lived next door to the casino. It is a beautiful building where the old details are still visible. You can literally play a game of Blackjack here among the old convent elements. So a great start to your casino tour.
Drive on to the Wiesbaden casino in Wiesbaden
We are now going to drive our first stretch until just below Frankfurt in the town of Wiesbaden. You’ll find an extraordinary casino that has been around for more than 290 years. This casino is located in a former Kurhaus. For years it has been called one of the most beautiful casinos in Europe and here you have to go inside. By the way, you have to pay an entrance fee to get in. Fortunately, it is a small amount of 2.50 euros. This is mainly to prevent people from coming just for the beautiful building. This way they try to attract only the serious gamblers. You will find several classic table games and of course a few slots. The limits are high, almost as high as in an online casino with no limit.
Near the French border you will find the Baden Baden casino.
From Wiesbaden we now drive two hours further down into southern Germany. You see nature changing, but also an imposing casino. The Baden Baden casino is just a few kilometers from the French border. Again, a casino with more than 200 years of history. It is a beautiful building and compared to Wiesbaden, you can see the French influences. Make sure you do pack a neat outfit or evening wear before your road trip. At the Baden Baden casino, they have a strict dress code. If you are not neatly dressed you simply won’t get in. In the first section you will find the slot machines and further on you will find a new area with the gaming tables. Personally, we think the gaming tables are the nicest part of the casino. It is definitely a must to marvel at the splendor here!
Visit the Casino de Monte Carlo in Monaco
We will now spend a day in the car and drive 850 km to Monaco. A totally different world from Baden Baden or Wiesbaden. This is the place where the glitz, glamour and rich come to gamble. The Monte Carlo Casino is known for the stars that come to play here. It is perhaps one of the most famous casinos in the world, but also one of the most beautiful. In doing so, it is certainly not wrong to spend a few nights in Monaco. This is a wonderful end to a road trip through Europe past the continent’s most famous casinos.
