Let yourself be (se)guided!

For your private city tour, you will be accompanied by a tour guide certified by the Federal Association of German Tourist Guides (BVGD), who will start their special tour at the Münzenberg Musicians Fountain in the Old Town's Marktplatz.

More than 2,000 magnificent half-timbered houses from eight centuries give the city its character, as it has been spared from major fires and severe destruction caused by wars. On this unique city tour, let the countless beautifully restored half-timbered houses “have their say.” A half-timbered house tells us, with many details, about the time of its construction, the impressive craftsmanship of the carpenters, and about the status and lives of its inhabitants.

Learn about the traditional construction methods of carpenters, the difference between post-and-beam and storey construction, and how the many natural materials, such as wood, clay and lime, are still used today.
