Germany · TOURS IN KASSEL
Good tours in Kassel fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
This two-hour open-top bus tour takes you from Papinplatz past the Orangerie, Auebad, Wilhelmshöhe Castle, Vorderer Westen, and Kassel’s main city sights. Headsets provide commentary in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, or Spanish. A break at Herkules gives you time for photos, coffee, and city views.
Spend 90 minutes with a live German-speaking guide exploring Kassel from the town hall. You’ll connect the city’s medieval past, Protestant Reformation, Grimm brothers, early museums and theater, documenta, and postwar rebuilding. The tour is wheelchair accessible, costs $15, and returns to its starting point.
Join a three-hour German-language walking tour through Kassel’s lost old town at night. Your guide leads you behind closed doors into vaults, corridors, the Drusel Tower, and casemates, while sharing stories about electors, kings, prisoners, and everyday life in earlier Kassel.
“Interessante, kurzweilige Führung durch die Altstadt von Kassel. Leider hat mir die Besichtigung von Gewölben, Gängen und der Kasematten gefehlt. Trotzdem viel über das frühere Leben in Kassel erfahren.”
Join Kassel actress Andrea C. Ortolano as Lotte Moser for a three-hour German-language comedy tour by sightseeing bus. Expect fictional tales of love, suspicious endings, flirtatious jokes, Kassel views from the Herkules, Gründerzeit buildings in Vorderer Westen, and a meal at a guesthouse. This is theater with sightseeing, not a standard history tour.
Pick a river, a century or a beer hall.
