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 kilometers 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.

Wurzburg is a large city in the state of Bavaria. Famously known for its amazing dry white wines, the city is a popular destination not just for oenophiles but also for tourists. The city is blessed with many popular landmarks, but the most popular is Würzburger Residenz: a massive palatial compound and a recognized UNESCO World Heritage Site. The palace boasts impressive Baroque architecture, inspiring frescoes, and meticulously-designed gardens. Festung Marienberg, a 13-century fortress, is another historical landmark, and the fortress' hilltop location offers an unobstructed view of the entire city.
Wurzburg, and the Franconian region as a whole, really gain their reputations from their wines. Some notable wineries to check out include Weingut Juliusspital and Staatlicher Hofkeller, which both offer guided tours of their wine cellars.
Wurzburg does not have its own commercial airport, so flights generally arrive in Nuremberg or Frankfurt, each over 50 miles away. Instead, taking a bus or train offers direct service into the center of Wurzburg. Bus lines include FlixBus, BlaBlaCar Bus, and Sindbad, arriving at several stations in the city. Train service operates through the Hauptbahnhof near the city center, and thousands of routes are available to book with Deutsche Bahn. Some of the more popular of these routes include Wurzburg to Frankfurt, Munich, and Prague.
