City Tour in Easy Language

While at the Dreikönigenhaus (House of the Three Magi), Judengasse (Jews’ Alley) and Hauptmarkt, you’ll experience the fascinating time of the Middle Ages, when defensive citizens used architectural tricks to try and protect their goods and chattels, St Peter became the city’s patron saint, and self-assured citizens fought the bishop for imperial immediacy – a fight which sometimes also involved knights, monkeys and church spires. And finally, you will be immersed in the baroque magnificence of the modern age at the Domfreihof and Kurfürstliches Palais (Electoral Palace). The tour ends by heading underground – into the subterranean passageways of the Imperial Baths which, like the basilica, allow visits inside.
