Karlsruhe is fondly referred to as the Fan-Shaped City. Even though it's at the northern edge of the Black Forest, Karlsruhe has some of the warmest weather in the country, so many visitors pick this city to experience a Mediterranean-inspired vacation in Germany. There are hundreds of fine museums, quirky galleries, and beautiful theatres in the area that are all worth checking out.
Karlsruhe is a hub for science and technology, but it has an artistic side, too. The ZKM is a unique art museum that displays contemporary video and audio installations in a former weapons factory. Hit up the Jakobus Theatre, Kammertheater Karlsruhe, or The Sandkorn Theatre for live music or theatrical performance.
Another can't-miss landmark is the Karlsruhe Palace, built in the 18th-century. Not only does the palace include stunning grounds and magnificent architecture, it also houses the Baden State Museum with exhibits about the region's history. Some of the best outdoor recreation sites are Badesee Epple, Rheinstrandbad Rappenwort, and Weingarten, offering blue waters for fishing, swimming, and sailing, respectively.

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.
