Overview
Kiel is much more than just a port city in northern Germany.
It is shaped by the sea, trade, and shipbuilding, and was the birthplace of some of the events that changed the country’s history.
On this free tour in Spanish, we’ll explore downtown Kiel while discovering how it went from being a small Baltic town to becoming one of Germany’s most important ports.
We’ll discuss its maritime history, the construction of the canal, and its strategic importance, with a special focus on the 1918 Revolution—which began here and marked the beginning of the end of the German Empire—and we’ll conclude by exploring the enormous impact of World War II, which brought it to an end.
During the tour, we’ll visit some of Kiel’s most important sites and, above all, understand why this city has the look and character it does today.
A tour designed for Spanish-speaking travelers who want to get to know Kiel beyond its monuments and understand the stories hidden behind its streets, its port, and its past.
