Introduction

Your ticket for three awe-inspiring days, roaming in Hagen, one of the most underrated cities of Germany! With lush greenery, remarkable historical sites and unique German dishes waiting for you, you'll have memories to cherish forever

Day 1 - Soaking up the History and Greenery

Board off your plane, take a deep breath of fresh German air and let the adventure begin! We start by getting to know Hagen at the LWL-Freilichtmuseum. This fascinating open-air museum showcases half-timbered buildings from the past 500 years. As your mind fills with history, it's time to get your blood flowing. We'll head over to the Elbschehöfen, a patchwork of green zones, perfect for a mid-day jog or a hearty picnic. As dusk falls, dinner at Villa Vue awaits with a splendid view of the city.

Day 2 - A Day of Intrigue and Entertainment

Start your day brimming with youthful energy at the Theatre Hagen, where diverse performances from operas to drama captivate audiences. Later, for a slice of life in the 18th century, visit Schloss Hohenlimburg. This castle comes with a heart-stopping bird's eye view of the river Lenne. As twilight descends, why not try your hand at culinary wizardry at a local cooking class with Koch Dich Glücklich? You'll leave not only with a satisfied belly but also a recipe to recreate that perfect German Rouladen back home.

Day 3 -Crowning the trip with shopping and art

Our last day is dedicated to the dazzling world of modern art and retail therapy. Visit the Emil Schumacher Museum, dedicated to one of the greatest abstract artists of the 20th century. You'll be left astounded at the raw emotions his works evoke. And since no trip is complete without souvenirs, we'll then head to the Thier-Galerie Dortmund, a well-known shopping enclave. Here, you'll browse everything from German handicrafts to high-end fashion. After a day of indulgence, wind down with a sumptuous dinner at Brauhaus Schillerbad, one of the finest eateries in town.
