Dessau named a top global travel destination for 2027
The German city of Dessau has been named one of the top 25 travel destinations for 2027 by Lonely Planet. Featured in the guide ‘Lonely Planet Best in Travel 2027’, the city is recognized for its profound connection to the Bauhaus movement.
Lonely Planet describes the Bauhaus as ‘the most significant of all design ideas’, noting that its influence remains central to modern daily life. The city, located in Saxony-Anhalt, became a hub for the movement after the school moved from Weimar in 1925. The area includes UNESCO World Heritage sites such as the Bauhaus building and the Master Houses, where architects like Walter Gropius lived.
The recognition comes amid local political tension, as the AfD party in Saxony-Anhalt has criticized the Bauhaus, labeling it an ‘erroneous path of modernity’.
