City Information

Located in central Germany, Kassel is a city with roots dating to the 10th century. These days, Kassel is perhaps best known for hosting documenta, a remarkable contemporary art exhibition that takes place every five years. However, if you're visiting outside of a documenta year, Kassel has many other exciting experiences to offer.
One of the most popular sites in Kassel is the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a landscape park covering over 2.5 square kilometres of hillside. Construction of the park began in 1689, and the Baroque style of the Bergpark took 150 years to complete. The park's defining feature is a giant statue of Hercules, surrounded by a system of fountains and waterworks.
Kassel is also famed for being near the hometown of the legendary writers, the Brothers Grimm, and Grimm World is the newest attraction in the city. It commemorates the brothers' legacy through interactive and multimedia exhibits inspired by their iconic works, such as Rapunzel, Cinderella, The Frog Prince, and Snow White. The museum is not just for children, though. Prepare your worst insults to shout into the swear word generator, which translates modern German curse words into older linguistic versions.
The easiest way to reach Kassel is via one of the ICE (Inter-City Express) trains that run throughout Europe. Rail service is convenient and affordable from nearby destinations like Berlin, Leipzig, and Hamburg. Buses also provide easy travel into Kassel, and FlixBus and Sindbad operate most bus routes.
Homburg
Homburg is a town in the German state of Saarland, close to the country's border with France. Homburg offers travellers a unique attraction in the Schlossberghöhlen, an underground complex of 17th-century sand mines. Visitors can take a guided tour of the tunnels and caves to learn about the site's long history: from 250-million-year-old footprints in the red sandstone to the mines' use as air-raid shelters in World War II. After your trip underground, get some fresh air on a hike to Karlsberg Castle. The castle lies mostly in ruin now, but the forest trails in the area are regal in their own right.
For younger travellers in your group, Homburg has a few exciting kid-friendly activities too. Gulliver-Welt is a park just outside of town with miniatures of world-famous buildings and a playground to enjoy. Fun Forest AbenteuerPark Homburg is perfect for older kids who embrace a little adrenaline. Ziplines, rope courses, and a scenic lake ensure a memorable adventure for the family.
Several forms of transportation make it easy to reach Homburg and discover all of its hidden gems. FlixBus and Sindbad offer affordable coach service from bigger cities like Frankfurt, Munich, and Lyon. Coaches arrive at Homburg's Central Train Station, along with Deutsche Bahn trains that connect to destinations throughout Europe.
