It was a sad autumn day when Karl III William, the proud Margrave of Baden-Durlach, rode out on a hunt 300 years ago. Dark clouds rolled past overhead.

Not even finished yet, the town was as open and international like no other. 1715 Karlsruhe was finally built. Now the boulevards conducted to the palace like a big fan. For this reason the city was called “the fan-shaped-city”. Karl also had some peace and quiet: the chilled through countess did not follow him to his new home. 04 Karl‘s Welcome Package karl‘s karl‘s 05 Karl‘s City Trip pleasure research 16 Event Highlights 2012/2013 Taste & Toast MICE & Knowledge 18 Public Sightseeing Tours 19 Individual Sightseeing Tours 13 Christmas City of Karlsruhe 15 Our Comprehensive Carefree Package for Your Trade Fair Visit 21 Arrival 13 “Meeting of the Senses“ 22 Service everything cool! www.karlsruhe-tourism.de 4 | Karl‘s Welcome Package partner hotels | 5 Our partner hotels: Hotel Blankenburg [C] Hotel Erbprinzhof [C] Hotel Greif [C] karl‘s welcome package Hotel Hasen [C] Queenshotel [D] Radisson BLU [D] Spend the Night + Breakfast + WelcomeCard + Info Package Allow yourself to be taken by the delightful side one, two or three nights including breakfast of Karlsruhe life and dive into the typical Baden WelcomeCard for free travel with buses and trains in ”savoir-vivre“. the city area of Karlsruhe and in Ettlingen, numerous discounts for cultural institutions and culinary offers Rest like Karl – Our »karl’s welcome package« includes: a detailed information package for your stay on location [C] = Category Comfort a small city guide as a souvenir of your stay Hotel Rio [D] Schloss Hotel [D] [D] = Category Deluxe Category Comfort 1st Jan –30th June 2012 and 1st Sep–31th Dec 2012 1st July –30th August 2012 Single Room Double Room Single Room Double Room 1 night p. p. 71 € 47 € 60 € 40 € 2 night p. p. 136 € 90 € 115 € 77 € 3 night p. p. 198 € 130 € 167 € 111 € my Category Deluxe tip! 1st Jan –30th June 2012 and 1st Sep–31th Dec 2012 1st July –30th August 2012 Single Room Double Room Single Room Double Room 1 night p. p. 81 € 56 € 68 € 48 € karl‘s city trip 2 night p. p. 155 € 109 € 129 € 91 € Your individual experience package 3 night p. p. 227 € 159 € 188 € 132 € With »Karl‘s welcome package« and the bookable offers make your stay in Karlsruhe a completely individual trip in next to no time. karl‘s welcome bookable individual package (see page 4) + offers (see page 7–13) = city trip e.g. 2 nights e.g. »Have a break« Category Comfort (see page 11) 90€ p.p.
