Bright fall magic in the red double-decker bus
The Karlsruhe CityTour offers a journey along colorful trees and fascinating views of autumnal Karlsruhe. The red double-decker bus takes its guests to important Karlsruhe sights such as the ZKM | Center for Art and Media, the castle and the Turmberg. The panoramic view from the Turmberg is highly recommended, especially in the golden season when everything shines in the most beautiful colors. The bus even takes a short break for this!
The audio guide in several languages provides interesting and entertaining facts about the fan-shaped city. The comedy channel with the two well-known radio presenters Zeus and Wirbitzky is particularly funny. All stops invite you to hop on or off flexibly and explore the city on your own. How about a detour to the picturesque old town of Durlach, for example? Or a trip to the colorful world of plants in the Orangery?
Until November 2, the HopOn/HopOff bus is always on the road on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Hometown in fall look
Tulip bulbs are now on sale everywhere again. But why is the early bloomer the symbolic flower of Karlsruhe? And how did the baroque planned city become Germany's first and so far only UNESCO City of Media Arts? Participants can find out this and much more on the guided tour "Hometown Karlsruhe" until October 30.
From the starting point at the tourist information office on Marktplatz, the tour takes you to the Botanical Gardens, the Federal Constitutional Court, the Ständehaus and back again. The city guides provide not only guests but also locals with exciting and entertaining insights into the fan-shaped city - including personal insider tips.
The tour always takes place on Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Karlsruhe big for the little ones
On October 29, the little ones will embark on an exciting journey of discovery through Karlsruhe on the children's city tour and learn about the history of the city in a playful way. Not only the children, but also the accompanying adults will enjoy the humorous short stories and varied quiz questions.
The 2-hour tour starts at 10 a.m. at the town hall on the market square, where you can gain an insight into the seat of power. The highlight is the stately view from the balcony. Next, the tour continues across the Platz der Grundrechte to the Botanical Gardens and Palace Gardens. Here, the children learn all kinds of exciting secrets about the sometimes exotic plants. And with a bit of luck, you might even spot a squirrel or two looking for nuts and the like in the autumn leaves.
