A long and very complete day: the school that invented a good part of modern design and, 15 km away, an 18th-century English garden with lakes and gondolas. Both are World Heritage Sites and are joined by train and bus from Berlin.

## The day, hour by hour

8:00 · Train to Dessau. The RE7 runs direct, about an hour and three quarters. Check the 2026 engineering works before you set out.

10:30 · Bauhaus building. Buy the all-in ticket, €29, and join the 11:00 guided tour: workshops, canteen and studios of Gropius's 1926 building.

12:30 · Masters' Houses. The guided tour leaves from the same building: the houses of Gropius, Kandinsky, Klee and Feininger among pine trees.

13:45 · Lunch at the Bauhaus café-bistro. On the ground floor of the building, simple and on the spot.

14:45 · Bus to Wörlitz. The 304, the WelterbeLinie, leaves every hour from the Dessau Hauptbahnhof bus station; allow about 40 minutes.

15:30 · Gondola. 45 minutes on the lake and the Wolf canal, €12.

16:30 · Park and Gothic House. Walk across the bridges and enter the prince's house, €6.

17:45 · Journey back. Bus to Dessau and the RE7 to Berlin.

## And on Sunday?

It works: the Bauhaus is open every day from March to October, the café until 17:00 and the gondolas every day. On Monday the palace and the Gothic House at Wörlitz are closed.

## With children

The Bauhaus bores little ones; the gondola and the park do not. With children, reverse the plan: Wörlitz in the morning and only the Bauhaus building in the afternoon.
