Brunswick’s rich history comes alive through two distinct historical tours.
The self-guided 3.5-hour walk – my favorite – offers independence as you explore the medieval streets while learning about past crimes and mysteries.
More structured is the expert-led 1.5-hour private tour, perfect for history buffs who want detailed stories at original medieval execution sites and crime scenes.
Both experiences consistently earn excellent reviews for their engaging historical content and well-researched narratives.
