Cultural highlights include the annual town festival "Steinener Sommer", which takes place in August and offers a colourful programme of music, arts and crafts and culinary specialities. In autumn, there is also the traditional wine festival.

The regional cuisine is a mixture of Baden and Alsatian traditions with dishes such as spaetzle (a type of noodle), tarte flambée or liver dumpling soup - all of which are delicious!

For outdoor enthusiasts, there are hikes on the Westweg or bicycle tours along the Rhine to Basel (Switzerland). In winter you can go skiing or cross-country skiing nearby.
