Our home is in a creative city! Bad Homburg is located in the metropolitan region near Frankfurt am Main and is therefore easy to reach by car via the A5 & A661 and by subway, bus & train within walking distance of the Academy. Due to our quiet location outside the city center, there are many free parking spaces in the surrounding streets. To give you the opportunity to enjoy our spa gardens, the castle and the romantic old town alongside your artistic work, we recommend staying in one of Bad Homburg's many hotels or private accommodation for longer workshops.
