3 days in Kassel Itinerary

Despite suffering total devastation from bombing raids and house-to-house combat during the Second World War, Kassel today has been revitalized as a city of high education, high culture, and the arts.

You'll find plenty of places to visit near Kassel: Edersee (in Waldeck), Gaenseliesel (in Goettingen) and Tierpark Sababurg (in Hofgeismar). There's lots more to do: pause for some photo ops at Hercules Monument, stroll around Staatspark Karlsaue, explore the historical opulence of Schloss Wilhelmshohe, and get outside with Insel Siebenbergen.
