A look at the sights
Gotha impresses with its picturesque city center with many architectural gems from the Baroque and Renaissance. On the tour you can admire, among other things, the water art, the orangery, the Cranach House, the Margarethenkirche and the Augustinian monastery. The latter was even a place where the famous reformer Luther preached. These sights not only offer a visually appealing setting, but also exciting historical background. The city has many stories to tell - from the cradle of the insurance industry to the founding of the later SPD.
The city tours are offered by qualified and experienced tour guides, which contributes to a high level of quality. In addition to the lantern tours, there are also other tours, such as “When the Duchess chats…”, where participants can immerse themselves in life at court and in town houses. The tours can also be organized individually for groups, both on foot and by coach or the Thuringian Forest Railway - one of the oldest intercity trams in Germany.
