Bad Vilbel is known as the "city of springs" and is home to a large number of museums, which call different areas of the region's eventful history their own. Here are four of the museums to explore in Bad Vilbel.
The reconstruction of a Roman mosaic can be admired in a glass pavilion in the spa gardens of Bad Vilbel. This showpiece of ancient mosaic art is the only one to have been found on Hessian soil. It is one of the most beautiful in the whole of Germany. It depicts sea creatures, grotesque hybrids and real animals gathered around the sea god Oceanus.

During a guided tour of the plant, visitors can experience the course of mineral water from the spring to the bottle. The Hassia Spring Museum shows the company's 140-year history, which also reflects a piece of industrial, family and regional history.
