Hildesheim has a very nice inner city with many half-timbered houses and a couple of very important cathedrals. They are registered as UNESCO World Heritage. There also is an excellent museum of Egyptian archaeology.
Apart from that, it's a rather small country town with about 80,000 inhabitants. Hannover with 500,000 inhabitants is just north and can easily be reached through public transportation.
VTers Knoto, Bigs and Leipzig all have pages on Hildesheim.

I also forgot to mention that the whole area -- southern Lower Saxony is quite nice -- green rolling hills, very authentic. While many tourists visit, it is not a spoilt area.

Don't know if you still visited Hildesheim. As already told, Hildesheim is a fine city with about 100.000 habitants. It's good place for living. In Hildesheim you find everything you need and Hannover isn't far away.
Hildesheim is famous for its "Roemer and Pelizaeus Museum" with one of the most significant Ancient Egyptian and Ancient Peruvian collections in Europe.
St. Michael´s Church and the Cathedral have been named as official historical monuments on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list.
The historical market sqare with its new built historical buildings (the originals were burnt in WW II) is "must" if you visit Hildesheim.
If you have more questions feel free to ask me, because I'm living near Hildesheim.
Travel Tips for Hildesheim
Visit the Roemer-Pelizaeus...
by Kurt_S.
Visit the Roemer-Pelizaeus Museum. It is popular for the best selection and exhibition on Ancient Egypt in Europe. Here you can see a lot of interesting exhibits . Regular specials are phantastic. It is a real must to go there.
And don't forget to visit the Dome with its 1000years old rose bush.There is a fable about the bush saying that as long as the roses grow Hildesheim will exist and prosper. The dome is a world cultural heritage.
The rest of the city is not that nice because the city burnt down after an air-raid in March 1945.
But the most beautiful semi-fabricated house in Germany, the Knochenhauer Amtshaus was rebuilt only a few years ago. It is really nice. I went to school in Hildesheim. We had lots of fun there.
Packing List
by sabsi
Bring a good book. It might be a bit boring to stay in Hildesheim for a while if you don't know anyone... I could give you my grandma's phone number but I don't think she'll be a good guide, she's 90+ and doesn't hear too well ;-)
Cathedral of Hildesheim
by Leipzig
The 11th century Cathedral of Hildesheim is also on the list of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. It was completely destroyed during World War II and rebuilt from 1950 to 1960. Some itmes like the bronze doors of 1015 or the Christ’s pillar of 1020 "survived" the bombings. Main attraction is the 1000-year-old rosebush.
City Theatre
by Gerrem
The construction work for the neo-classical City Theatre commenced in 1908 according to the plans of Max Littmann. Friedrich Schiller’s words are prominently displayed over the tympanum of the portal: "Der Menschheit Würde ist in Eure Hand gegeben. Bewahret sie. Sie sinkt mit Euch, mit Euch wird sie sich heben.” A rough translation: Man’s dignity has been placed in your hands. Protect it. It will sink with you and with you it will rise up once again. The City Theatre’s programme includes operas, operettas, musicals, theatre, ballet and concerts. 607 seats are available.
My last visit was in March 2005. We saw "Top Dogs" by Urs Widmer, a writer from Switzerland.
Tausendjähriger Rosenstock

Tausendjähriger Rosenstock
This rose grows in the yard of the cathedral for 1000 years apparently. The bits you see now all are from after the war, apparently even though the cathedral was bombed in WWII the rose started to grow only shortly after the fire was gone.
