City, park, river:
Kassel's southern district Südstadt
The Südstadt, one of Kassel's most multi-faceted districts, is right next to the city centre. Art lovers will enjoy going on a tour of discovery around the numerous small galleries here, whilst the winding residential streets are characterised by an exciting mix of period and post-war buildings. The Karlsaue national park is the green heart of Südstadt. It runs all the way down to the banks of the Fulda, where you can relax in numerous cafés with views across the river.
