River Cruises Collection: Aschaffenburg Walking Tour

Get under the skin of old Aschaffenburg on this ninety-minute walking tour of its long-standing landmarks. This Bavarian city is best known for its many castles, as well as the traditional half-timbered buildings that line the streets. You'll get a snapshot of the city's history as you visit Johannisburg Palace – a red sandstone fortress that towers over the River Main. There's also a sprawling park inspired by British landscaping on the agenda, and Pompejanum – a replica of a Roman villa copied from the Pompeii excavations. Once you're done with the big-hitting tourist spots, get to grips with the old town. This labyrinth of narrow alleys is freckled with German bars and quaint restaurants inside brightly painted buildings.
