“Kassel is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany!” That's what a travel guide said at the beginning of the last century. But Kassel is also a city full of contradictions. The old Kassel no longer exists, but can still be found in many places. The famous fairy tale brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm lived and worked here for over thirty years, introducing people not only to fairy tales, but also to the German language. Kassel also set standards with the first permanent theatre building in Germany, the first museum open to the public, and the first pedestrian zone in Germany. The variety of museums, many of which are even unique, as well as the documenta make a visit to Kassel something very special. This city tour gives you an initial overview of Kassel, as it brings you closer to both today's Kassel with its post-war architecture, as well as its 1100-year history and historical buildings. On this walk you will experience the breadth of the city!
