Upcoming Events & Guided Tours – 2022
Yesterday it was still high summer, and today it’s already fall. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing going on in Homburg anymore. Instead of culture in the museum and outdoor film nights, there are theater guest performances in the Saalbau cultural center, for example. On our guided tours, on the other hand, the motto is: There is no such thing as bad weather – just take the right clothes out of the closet and off you go – make new discoveries.
All guest tours subject to change; if conducted, appropriate hygiene standards and specifications must be observed.
