NOT expect too much - unfortunately. Of course, the Christmas market is THE attraction in winter. It used to be different - I recall somewhat empty aisles during the day, fuller but not congested ones when it became dark. Today, there´s heaps of tourists from all over the world, crowding in the aisles. But still, it has not lost its atmosphere. My tip: Don´t go on weekends!
Erfahrungsfeld zur Entfaltung der Sinne
by AnnaLupilla
Every year from may to september about 60 different stages invite visitors (mainly children) of the Woehrder Wiese to a trip in the world of senses. Every year they lay great stress on different topics like, water, fire or wind ...
Entrance fee is quite a lot, but it's worth every cent you pay.
Another Osteria
by AnnaLupilla about L'Osteria Toscana
This restaurant is fairly unknown, as it is located outside the city center. This doesn't mean any negative, maybe exactly the opposite:
Meals are quite big, usually you can take away the part of the pizza that's too much. The ambience is very familiar: Gianni and Giuseppe, who own the restaurant are brothers. They are a real quite tip! My favorite dish there is ... surprise surprise ... pizza! Unbeatable is pizza with rucola, grilled chinese mushrooms and fresh parmesan.
For desert you should ask for the unique Tiramisu.
The Marenplatz

This is the church in the Main Plaza. At 12 noon the clock plays music and figures go in and out. This church was under restoration the first time I was there in 84 and the scaffolding was still there the next time I went in 87.
Kaiserburg Tower

I like how the folks who constructed this fortification so many centuries ago integrated the natural rock formations into the castle walls. Makes for a pretty neat effect, I think. The big boulders are great to lounge upon and lazily watch the tourists dutifully file on by as they make their way downhill to the ancient city center.
