Old Town (Niederburg)

Reviewed By Raoulr89 - Sittard, The Netherlands

Konstanz really surprised me. It is a city which has all. Good climate, beautiful lake, mountains in the distance, lots of history and nationalities, good restaurants and bars and the old town is in the middle of all. Quite some parts are car free luckily. It contains cosy small streets with beautiful buildings and large squares and boulevard streets which are alive. Everything is well maintained and perfect to do on foot because it isn't very big. It is really worth the time to take a couple of hours and stroll through the old town. Most restaurants and night life are also located here. Trough an underground passage at the station you can easily walk to the dock and the Constanz Lake.

Speicherstadt

Reviewed By WLae - Hamburg, Germany

This historic part of the ancient harbour warehouse area is an impressive view as well as a cool place with lots of museums (minatur wondeland, ship-paintings, tee ....), amusement (Hamburg Dungeon, Dinner in the dark, ...). Further it is very close to the Elbphilharmonie which has been built on top of a former warehouse in that area. Special boat tours are available at Landungsbrücken to have a look at the old buildings from the waterside.

Kunsthofpassage

Reviewed By 84timothya

Certainly an eclectic and "Bohemian" court. Restaurant charming, nice desserts. Small menu. Artwork is unique. Look for Cow on sign to enter court if your Getman is limited. The area of Neusradt in Dresden is transition . Parking is block away. The singing water troughs are on the inside of the courtyard. There are two ways in. Other shops in courtyard reminiscent of the 70' s

Reviewed By michaelbK4856BU - Frankfurt, Germany

The old town hall, the Roland statue, churches, the Schnorr quarter and the Modersohn Becker museum, all things one should enjoy slowly while indulging yourself with chocolate from Bremen (Hachez or Feodora).

Kreidefelsen

Reviewed By AlterSchwede13 - Boblingen, Germany

Well, if you like the chalk cliffs or not, everybody has to decide for himself. They are characteristic for Rügen, so take a look at them. There are different places where you can especially look at this natural spectacle. Of course the Victoria observation deck is a nice point (maybe the most beautiful one)? But along the Hochuferweg there are so many beautiful perspectives that you should not miss. If you go there by car, it's your own fault (parking, fees, still walking). You can not get lost... and public transportation goes there as well. We saved the entrance fee, because we were not interested in the Documentation Center, only movement in the open air, view, once from Sassnitz, once from Lomme. Important: Near Königsstuhl it will be full, just as near Sassnitz. In between there is a lot of peace and quiet. Recommended if you are good on foot, to walk back down to the sea (to Sassnitz). Here the rocky outcrops become really dramatic.

Old Town

This walled village houses mercantile buildings dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. The fortified wall has sixteen towers; you can access the city from four of them.

Reviewed By Mellie2013 - Port Moody, Canada

Drove the Romantic Road in August. This was one of our favourite villages of the trip. Straight out of a Grimm's Fairy Tale. Cobblestone streets, friendly folks and a very peaceful atmosphere. The houses and businesses are rendered in late Renaissance facades with pastel colours and half-timbered frames. So photographic and charming. We parked on the outer ring and walked into the town through one of the four medieval gates that remain . This town has a history! Probably starting around the 8th century. It was once a "Free Imperial City" of the Holy Roman Empire. In the 13th century the fortifications began. Luckily this town is original, untouched by WWI or WWII bombings. Forward thinking in the 19th century, by Ludwig I proclaimed the city to be a heritage site to be preserved and protected. Delightful shops, bakeries, cafes, inns, restaurants and churches. Well worth an afternoon of roaming around. Highly recommend saving time to walk the fortification walls or at the least climb the St. George church tower. Delightful!
