Tours and Discoveries
Alongside the concerts, the International Bach Festival offers visitors a variety of guided tours to discover Schaffhausen's rich culture and history. The tours are free of charge to all festival ticketholders! The tours at the museum will be led by specialist curators and will introduce you to the most valued exhibits of the art collection or guide you through the current special exhibition. In the our specifically devised tour “Schaffhausen Baroque”, we discover what Schaffhausen may have been like in Johann Sebastian Bach's day and age.
