Even the Romans recognized the importance of this location on the Rhine. Later, Worms became a city of kings, emperors, and imperial diets. It is precisely this rich history that makes a guided historical tour of Worms so special. Here, visitors discover not just individual monuments, but a comprehensive picture of German history that has evolved over time.
Among the most significant landmarks is St. Peter’s Cathedral in Worms, one of the great Romanesque structures along the Rhine. Equally defining is Worms’ Jewish heritage, including the “Holy Sand”—one of the oldest surviving Jewish cemeteries in Europe—as well as the SchUM tradition.
