City in Germany

Kassel

3 things to see

Every five years Kassel becomes a global contemporary art destination when Documenta takes over the city, but between editions the UNESCO Bergpark Wilhelmshohe and Brothers Grimm museum keep culture flowing. The hilltop water features at Wilhelmshohe are free to watch, and the surrounding Bergpark is free to walk. Kassel’s central German location makes it an easy stopover on north-south rail routes between Frankfurt and Hamburg.
