Little time, lots to see: the most important places of Weimar Classicism in one compact walk. Perfect for a stopover or day visit - vividly told, no prior knowledge needed.
About this tour
One hour, one city, three eras: the Weimar Short Tour shows the most important places of Weimar Classicism in a compact and lively way - ideal for visitors with little time or as an introduction to a longer stay. Seven stops, 1.5 km, no long waits. Stories instead of dates: why a human chain in Weimar saved books, why Schiller could only write with rotten apples, what a single ginkgo leaf has to do with Goethe's late love - and what a monument made from Turkish war cannons has to do with it.
