Peak / festival surge
July is the peak tourist month in Kassel, driven by the documenta art festival, which attracts visitors from all over the world. Expect higher hotel prices and crowds, but the city's vibrant atmosphere and world-class art exhibitions make it a worthwhile experience. The festival usually takes place every five years, but the months surrounding it are also busy with related events and exhibitions.
