Wittenberg, Germany

Wittenberg Walking Tour

Witness the Legacy of Martin Luther Stroll in the footsteps of Martin Luther, founder of the Protestant Reformation, during a walking tour of his city. Wittenberg’s history centers around the actions and teachings of Martin Luther, the Augustinian monk who nailed his “95 Theses” to the door of All Saints’ Church, the palace’s castle church. Walk with your guide to this late Gothic gem, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Luther preached here, and you will see the “Theses Doors” to which he attached his historic message. Inside, see Luther’s grave beneath the pulpit, as well as that of his fellow reformer Melanchthon. In Wittenberg’s market square, you can admire the Town Hall and the statue of Luther.  Afterward, visit St. Mary’s Church, a UNESCO Site where Luther was married in 1525 and preached more than 2,000 times. Then, briefly stop at the courtyard of his former private residence before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
