CityTour in Karlsruhe

Explore Karlsruhe with a big CityTour-round trip

Karlsruhe has many faces. In its almost 300-year history, the former residential and planned city has developed into a centre for art, culture, law and technology and is now home to the Federal Court of Justice, Germany's highest court, as well as a vibrant cultural landscape with over 50 museums, theatres and galleries.

Come with us on an approx. 130-minute tour of the fan-shaped city of Karlsruhe and learn more about the rather short history of the former royal seat. On the way, we will pass a number of the city's highlights, including the castle, the ZKM, the old slaughterhouse and Durlach with its old town, the famous Turmberg railway and Karlsburg Castle.

During the tour, you have the option of leaving the bus at one of our 9 stops, exploring the surrounding highlights on foot or visiting one of Karlsruhes‘s many museums and simply getting on the next bus - HopOn-HopOff makes it possible.
