Learn more about hotels in Kassel

Situated in northern Hesse, Kassel is a city steeped in history, tracing its roots back to 913 AD. Once the seat of the state of Hesse-Kassel, it emerged as a refuge for Calvinist Protestants and Huguenots, and a hotspot for contemporary art. Kassel's museums, such as the Museum Fridericianum and the UNESCO listed Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, narrate a riveting story of its cultural journey.

The Brothers Grimm, noted for their anthology of fairy tales, resided in Kassel while Napoleon's brother Jérôme briefly transformed it into the capital of the short-lived Kingdom of Westphalia. Tragically, the city suffered extensive damage during World War II, but emerged phoenix-like, nestling among its historical landmarks an impressive range of public infrastructure and a multicultural population centred on its 25,000-strong student community.

When to visit Kassel

To bask in the warmth of summer and enjoy Kassel's outdoor delights, notably its parks and exhibitions, consider visiting from late June to early September. July, being the warmest month, is perfect for exploring the city and its immersive surroundings. However, come prepared for the occasional rain shower as it is also the wettest month of the year.

December brings with it cloudy skies and reveals a different face of Kassel, a chance for romantics to enjoy the city in its wintry garb. With a robust public transportation system and excellent connectivity to the national rail network, Kassel is an accommodating host year-round, ready to charm with its blend of ancient history and vibrant modernity.
