Things to see and do Germany

One of the oldest neighborhoods in the city. Fischerviertel, the former fishermen's and tanners' district, contains treasures of ancient architecture. Its half-timbered houses lean over the arms of the Blau, peaceful enough to be covered in places with beautiful water lilies. The small cobbled streets, the narrow passages between the houses, shaded by tall trees, and finally these small bridges crossing the river look like Little Strasbourg France (we can't help but make the comparison!). A place full of charm.

At the end of the Medienhafen, the summer, the monkeys island (the "Affen Insel", the similarity of sounds being not fortuitous) is covered with sand; in front of the Rhine, you can believe in the sea…

Almost a Garden of Eden. The baths and gardens offer a very luxurious, magical setting. The entrance is splendid, with ceramic consoles and a decorated wooden coffered ceiling. The building dating from 1913 finds its inspiration in the ancient forms and combines the past with modernity. A beautiful solid wood staircase leads you to the Roman baths, ceramic arcades and frescos representing ancient life. Also Russian, Finnish, and Oriental sauna.

Another excursion through the ages, the one you propose this museum installed in a beautiful th century mansion, transformed into the th century by the architect Jakob Couven, whose baroque style influenced the region greatly. A neo-neoclassic ensemble with white Doric columns, a rotunda, galleries, and some extremely well-established rooms, where you can go through a multitude of furniture, works of art and costumes, tracing the US, customs and modes of the bourgeois population during the Baroque period until the th century. No need to be a furniture lover to find the whole fun.
