If you're interested in design or architecture then you already have some idea of what the Bauhaus represents. I loved it here! The Masters' houses are not far and well worth seeing and spending time with. Its worth the trip out if you're heading in from Berlin etc. I would say leave a full day for it. There are temporary...

The main Bauhaus building and its exhibits are worth the trip, but the tours offered enrich the experience even more. Be sure to visit the nearby Master Houses a couple of blocks away and then walk through the Georgium (part of another UNESCO site) at the end of the street. Save time to roam around the Törten Estate collection of... More
