The walk combines architecture, city history, and the special atmosphere of the UNESCO World Heritage Site into an impressive discovery experience.
Between the Cathedral, Cathedral District, and Hidden Traces
At the heart of the tour is the Gothic cathedral as a spiritual and urban landmark. The tour shows the cathedral district from a new perspective and reveals how closely political power, ecclesiastical significance, and architectural art have been intertwined here for centuries. Particularly exciting: The former boundaries of the cathedral district are accessible as a historical space with the character of a state within the city.
History You Can Touch in the Old Town
