The city of Karlsruhe was founded in 1715, and has developed over time into the site of numerous historic and cultural points of interest. One of the city’s popular attractions is the Turmberg Castle Ruins in the suburb of Durlacher. This was formerly a lookout tower in the 13th century. Now, visitors are welcome to visit via the Turmbergbahn, the Turmberg’s very own funicular railway which brings you past panoramic views of the Rhine Valley on the way up. Meanwhile, Karlruhe’s Center for Art and Media is a progressive museum housed in a converted munitions factory, where contemporary art from local and international sources will inspire and provoke. After exploring the city by day, head over to downtown Karlsruhe to experience its nightlife. The Kaiserstrasse is a bustling shopping street lined with restaurants and bars. Whether you prefer the laid back atmosphere of a beer garden for a tower of locally brewed beer or savoring specialty cocktails from a rooftop bar, there’s something for you in Karlsruhe.
