What you can expect

    Our city guides will take you on an exciting journey of discovery through Karlsruhe. Did you know, for example, that Karlsruhe's fan-shaped layout shaped the cityscape of Washington, D.C.? The KarlsTour is full of history and stories, plus there are plenty of funny anecdotes and personal insider tips from our guides.

    In 2026, the anniversary year of the great Karlsruhe architect Friedrich Weinbrenner, the KarlsTour will take you past his classicist buildings, which still shape the cityscape to this day. Discover how Weinbrenner's architecture made Karlsruhe unmistakable – and why his legacy lives on in modern urban planning.
