Streets squares and districts to visit 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.

Located west of Frankfurt, Höchst is a wholly-fledged district on the right bank of the Main River; But it looks more like a small medieval town on the edge of the Main. The fortifications, the castle, the Justinus church (the th century) and the Bolongaro Palace are to be visited. You will also find a porcelain factory and a museum of this "art of fire".

The Deutsches Eck is located at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers and is a promontory with a statue of Kaiser Wilhelm in the middle. The building is crowned by a very large equestrian statue, with a quote from the Koblenz poet Max von Schenkendorf engraved on the pedestal: "The empire will never be destroyed, / If you are united and loyal! After the fall of the Berlin Wall, three concrete pieces of the Wall were placed next to the monument. On October 3, 1990, the coats of arms of the new federal states were added. A large national flag and the flags of the sixteen federal states commemorate German unity.

The Staatstheater Stuttgart is a theater with several halls for opera, ballet and drama. The former royal court theater was built between 1909 and 1912 and has an impressive interior, including the breathtaking fresco on the auditorium ceiling and marble busts of famous poets and composers on the first floor. The Nationaltheater Stuttgart hosts various classical performances throughout the year, making it a popular venue.

The Königsbau Passagen is a 5-storey shopping arcade with more than 70 stores, restaurants and offices. This 45,000 m² complex on Schlossplatz dates back to the mid-19th century and has 34 classical-style columns adorning the main entrance. It is built around a large inner courtyard with a glass roof. You are sure to find your happiness in this shopping center, from cameras, clothing and jewelry to chocolate, fresh produce and souvenirs, etc...

The Philosophenweg is a path that owes its name to the university professors of philosophy. Overlooking the Neckar and the Old Town, the path begins 200 meters after the Old Bridge. The first part of the trail, which runs along the river for about 1.5 kilometers, is not too physically difficult. We recommend that you wear good walking shoes, however, as the second part of the trail is more difficult.

The market square is the heart of Heidelberg's old town. There are many restaurants and small stores here, and it is particularly lively on Wednesdays and Saturdays when the market takes place. With the Church of the Holy Spirit on one side and the town hall on the other, this place is ideal for discovering the atmosphere of the city before exploring it. All you have to do is take a seat on one of the terraces and watch the daily life around you over a drink.

A very romantic stroll through the city begins with the discovery of the Karl Theodor Bridge. This bridge crosses the Neckar in the northern part of the Old Town. This sandstone bridge, which consists of a series of 180-meter-long arches, is one of Heidelberg's most remarkable monuments and was built in 1788. This very picturesque pedestrian structure offers beautiful views and provides the opportunity to take wonderful photos of the Old Town. You can also lock a love lock on the railing and throw the key into the river.

Hauptstraße is an almost 2-kilometer-long pedestrian zone that crosses Heidelberg's Old Town from west to east. It is the main street of the Old Town and also the city's main shopping street. You can find almost everything in the Hauptstraße. There is even a kiosk where you can pick up books for free by handing in your old books to the next visitor. One of the sights not to be missed is the House of the Knight of St. George, a magnificent historic building facing south from the Church of the Holy Spirit.

Münsterplatz is located opposite Notre-Dame Cathedral in Fribourg. This picturesque square has many colorful buildings, most of which were rebuilt at the end of the Second World War. In addition to the church, you will find the historic Kaufmannshaus and the Wentzingerhaus. Don't forget to watch where you step as you stroll across Münsterplatz, as the streets are lined with streams, open drains. If you walk in one of these little streams, you will one day marry a citizen of Freiburg im Breisgau (according to legend)

A visit to Baden-Baden without a stop at the Kurhaus, the center of local cultural life, is impossible! The Kurhaus Baden-Baden was built in the 19th century by the Karlsruhe master builder Friedrich Weinbrenner in the classicist style, on the site of the Promenadenhaus. Many of the town's landmarks are located around the Kurhaus, such as the Trinkhalle and the Greek-Romanesque chapel. We recommend a stroll through the Kurpark, one of the most beautiful parks in the city. The Kurhaus is open 24 hours a day.
