Guided tours in Darmstadt
Discover Darmstadt - with a city tour.
In addition to the weekend classics - ‘Darmstadt at a glance’ and ‘Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt - UNESCO World Heritage Site’ - there are various highlight tours, walks with Aurora DeMeehl or guided tours of the Darmstadt State Theatre.
Whether it's the splendour of blossoms or the search for clues, out into the countryside or into the churches - the guided tours are as diverse as the city itself.
We will be happy to inform you via our newsletter when further topics are added to the programme. The registration form for our newsletter can be found here.
