Also in this lovely square is the Landesmuseum which many consider one of the most interesting museums in Lower Saxony - at least if you are into history and culture. If you have also visited the town of Wolfenbüttel and liked it there, this is a good museum to visit for more information on the historic ruling families of the region.
The main walking area of Braunschweig is littered with hundreds of shops including major chains such as Karstadt, Galeria Kaufhof, C & A, etc plus many food outlets so you will never go hungry. Try the spaghetti eis, mmmm. You can easily spend a day shopping and every now and then you will bump into an old and historic building which is always fun. Braunschweig also has a good fresh food market in the Alstadtmarkt on Saturday mornings if you would like some fresh produce during your stay.
The villa named "Salve Hospes" ("Welcome, Guest") is a masterpiece of classicism. It was designed by the court architect Peter Joseph Krahe and erected for the merchant Dietrich W. Krause in 1805-1808. It is one of the first buildings that were erected on the former ramparts when these were turned into a promenade street.
The villa is now owned by Kunstverein (Art Association) Braunschweig and is used for exhibitions of contemporary art.
Braunschweig has a long and colourful history. Heinrich der Lowe chose Braunschweig as his residence in the 12th Century and its origins are as a busy trading centre. About 90% of the main area of Braunschweig was destroyed in the Allied bombings of WW2 but much has been restored and rebuilt.
Braunschweig is the perfect place to spend a weekend if you are visiting Germany. It does not have all the hustle and bustle of centres such as Berlin or Hamburg. It has every amenity and a day could easily be idled away simply browsing its many shops. It also has a variety of parks and museums that may also be of interest.
The main walking area of Braunschweig can be covered on foot without any problems. Wolfenbuttel another lovely town to visit is not far from Braunschweig and the Harz Mountains and Hanover are approximately only an hour away.
