Free tour: Darmstadt - Hesse's old capital

Darmstadt - Hesse's old capital.
On the trail of the destroyed old town, the grand dukes and the dynastic connections of the Darmstadt court to the royal houses of Europe.

The old royal seat of Darmstadt looks back on a long and rich history. On this tour I would like to show you the most beautiful and historic places in the city center and the surrounding area and tell you many exciting stories about them. I promise you: Afterwards you will have a different view of Darmstadt.

We start on the historic market square, walk over the beautiful Mathildenhöhe and the neighboring Rosenhöhe, down to the Woog, the bathing lake in the middle of the city, to the impressive St. Ludwig's Church and finally to the lively central point of the city center: Luisenplatz.
