Frequently Asked Questions
At the Petriförder, a quay just below the centre. Cafés, a beer garden and a tree-lined promenade line the landing, and the cathedral spires are a few minutes walk away.
On foot for the most part. Cathedral, Grüne Zitadelle, Alter Markt and the Monastery of Our Lady form a compact circuit from the quay. Only the canal bridge north of town requires a coach.
The cathedral, Hundertwasser Grüne Zitadelle, then the Alter Markt and the Monastery of Our Lady, returning along the riverbank. A comfortable plan that still leaves time for the quayside beer garden.
It is the first great Gothic building project in Germany, begun in 1209. Emperor Otto the Great is buried there. Admission is free, and the sculpted Wise and Foolish Virgins are worth slowing down for.
The final project of Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, completed in 2005: undulating pink façades, irregular columns, gilded domes and trees growing on the roofs. Its courtyards are freely open, two streets from the cathedral.
Largely rebuilt. The city was destroyed several times in its history, and the Alter Markt is mostly post-war façades. The cathedral, the Monastery of Our Lady and a few Romanesque ensembles survived; the rest tells a story of starting over.
Yes, but not on foot. The Wasserstrassenkreuz, a canal bridge nearly a kilometre long carrying a canal over the Elbe, lies north of the city and is visited by coach excursion.
Yes. The Grüne Zitadelle courtyards amuse children, Rotehorn park on the island opposite offers lawns and space, and the central circuit is short. The water bridge fascinates engineering fans of any age.
The euro. Cards work in city-centre shops and restaurants, but keep cash for market stalls and quayside kiosks.
May to September: the Petriförder terraces are open, the Rotehorn lawns fill up the moment the sun appears, and the days are long enough to combine cathedral and riverbank.
