Let yourself be guided!

A guide certified by the Federal Association of Tourist Guides of Germany (BVGD) will be at your side for your private city tour and will begin this special tour at the Münzenberger Musikanten Fountain on Old Town Market Square.

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 by wars. Let the countless beautifully restored half-timbered houses “have their say” on this unique guided city tour. A half-timbered house tells a story with many details about the time it was built, the impressive craftsmanship of the carpenters, and the status and life of its residents.

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