Frequently Asked Questions

No, a few minutes' walk is enough, and that is one of this call's great advantages. Its four pink sandstone towers and two domes are visible well before you dock, in fact.
It is the largest surviving Romanesque church in the world, begun around 1030 and listed as UNESCO World Heritage on that basis. The nave impresses through restraint: no gilding, no clutter, only the rhythm of the arches and pink stone catching the light.
The largest Romanesque crypt in Europe, where eight emperors and kings of the Holy Roman Empire lie buried. Descending among these thousand-year-old tombs remains the high point of the call for most passengers.
Allow 45 to 60 minutes for the cathedral and its crypt, then 30 to 45 minutes for the Maximilianstrasse as far as the Altpörtel. If time remains, the Technik Museum is worth it, but you then give up the strolling.
The old western gate of the city, built in the 13th century and standing 54 metres tall: one of the most imposing medieval gates in Germany. It closes the vista along the Maximilianstrasse, about fifteen minutes' stroll from the cathedral square.
Yes, and it astonishes in a city this size: a Boeing 747 raised on pylons that you walk through, a submarine, locomotives and the Soviet space shuttle Buran. Allow about twenty minutes on foot from the centre.
Very much so, thanks to the Technik Museum. Families easily spend half a day there; passengers in a hurry cover the highlights in an hour and a half. The rest of the centre is flat and pedestrianized, easy going with a stroller.
The remains of a medieval synagogue and a 12th-century ritual bath among the best preserved in Europe, in the streets just off the Maximilianstrasse. It bears witness to the important Jewish community that gave Speyer its medieval standing.
The wines of the Palatinate, one of Germany's great white wine regions, whose gateway the city occupies. On the food side, Saumagen, a speciality of meat and potatoes, is tasted out of curiosity and often finished out of pleasure.
The euro, and cards work in the centre. The ground is flat and the Maximilianstrasse is pedestrianized: this is an easy call to walk, which is not always the case on the Rhine.
