Dive into in the legacy of Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation on a tour to Wartburg Castle. From Frankfurt, set off for a full day to explore the teacher's life and work, see the fortress where he translated the New Testament into German, and enjoy time to wander the charming town where he studied as a teenager.

Depart from Frankfurt for a journey through the countryside to Wartburg Castle. Along the way, gain insight into Martin Luther's early days as a student, as well as the beliefs that eventually led him to write his 1517 Ninety-Five Theses in critique of the Catholic Church.

Upon arrival at the castle, step inside the spectacular structure to retrace Luther's footsteps during his time living in the medieval fortress during exile. Look inside the room where he translated the New Testament from Greek into German and poured out doctrinal and polemical writings. Wander the halls of the UNESCO World Heritage site, getting an overview of German history as you see 8 centuries of art including paintings, tapestries, and furniture.

Following your tour of the castle, head down into the streets of Eisenach, where Luther attended school as a teenager. Enjoy time to explore the picturesque city on your own. Pop into quaint shops or opt to visit one of the museums before making the drive back to Frankfurt.
