The young city of Karlsruhe lies in the heart of Europe, in southern Germany to be more precise, and is home to almost 300,000 residents.

Surrounded by the breathtaking natural landscapes of the Black Forest, the Rhine, the Palatinate, and the Alsace region in France, Karlsruhe is one of the sunniest cities in Germany with more than 80 ha of green space. The Karlsruhe tourism department offers practical professional visitor programmes. Numerous cooperative arrangements with the city, educational establishments, research institutions and local business, industry and trade enable the programmes to provide interesting insights into a wide variety of areas of knowledge and German culture.
