GUIDED TOURS FOR BLIND AND PARTIALLY SIGHTED PEOPLE

Smell, hear and touch – blind and partially sighted visitors can also experience Constance with all their senses. The tour starts with a walk by the harbour and explores the town’s importance as a centre of commerce in the Middle Ages. A special feature is the tactile model of the Council of Constance building. Then it’s on to the cathedral, where old pillars, soft sandstone and carved doors provide an impression of the 1,400-year-old building. The tour ends at the bronze relief map on Münsterplatz square, which provides a bird’s eye view of the old quarter.
Information: guided tour in German, duration approx. 2hrs, price €110

People with restricted mobility can also get up close to the model in their wheelchair.
