What You Will Do
Maybe you will find that the so-called “Bavarian Nice” might be a little far-fetched but this comfy little town has some of the appeal of the famous city from the French Riviera: an alluring promenade by the river and lush gardens and parks. Top that with a magnificent castle of red-gold sandstone, add some pubs and nice restaurants and you will get Aschaffenburg, an experience to remember.
Discover all the highlights that this charming city of culture has to offer in a pleasant walking tour full of useful insights, like St. Peter and Alexander’s Abbey, the Theater Square and it’s outstanding large sundial built by Christian Tobin as well as the Municipal Theater and the Sand Church. In the closeby Johannisburg Palace we will listen to its fascinating legend and take a peek behind the castle for the Capuchin Monastery. We’ll not miss the Pompejanum, a reconstruction of a Roman villa in Pompeii built for king Ludwig I.
