Dessau-Wörlitz in one day

Más información sobre el libro

Dessau was for centuries the royal residence of the Principality and Duchy of Anhalt. In the 18th century, under Leopold III Frederick Franz of Anhalt-Dessau, the city became a 'Musenhof' ('court of the muses') of European importance, and the present-day Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz was established in the spirit of the Enlightenment. Located idyllically in the heart of the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve, it today impresses countless visitors from far and wide as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dessau is world famous as the 'Bauhaus' city, whose most famous structures – the Bauhaus building and Meisterhäuser houses – are also listed as World Heritage Sites. The tour takes you to Dessau’s biggest attractions and Wörlitz Park, inviting you to experience the city’s 800-year-old history and Wörlitz’s picturesque parklands in an entertaining and informative manner – while still making sure to include the breaks necessary for you to enjoy Anhalt hospitality.
