Things to Do  

The Ansbach Residence

The Ansbach Residence, Ansbach

 leafmcgowan Says:  The Residence of the Margraves of Ansbach were under reconstruction and revitalization while we visited, so unfortunately couldn't take a very good look at the exterior of this palace since the scaffolding was blocking the view. We did however take the 50-minute guided tour...

Visit the Old City

Visit the Old City, Ansbach

 Rhondaj Says:  Ansbach has a lovely old city. It has a large pedestrian only section filled with quaint shops and cafes. Ansbach is not so very touristy and therefore the old city is not full of tourist trinket shops; instead you will find mostly local retailers. 

Ansbach Hofgarten

Ansbach Hofgarten, Ansbach

 Rhondaj Says:  A very pleasant garden to walk through. Greenery, fountains, flowers, herbs, well tended pathways; this garden is a quiet respite for the traveler. And if viewing the monument to Kaspar Hauser on Platenstrasse wasn't enough, there's a momument to him here too. It's at the... 

Kasper Hauser

Brücken-Center: American Style Mall in Ansbach

Brücken-Center: American Style Mall in Ansbach, Ansbach

 cynthi Says:  The Brücken-Center in Ansbach was built in the late 1990s as an American Style Mall. There are many shops both inside and outside, including a grocery store (go figure). The mall also has a great Parkplatz, so it is easy to bring your car. Personally, though, I prefered to...

Ansbacher Markgrafengruft

Ansbacher Markgrafengruft, Ansbach

 leafmcgowan Says:  Underneath the Gumbertuskirche is a crypt called the Grablege der Markgrafen or Ansbacher Markgrafengruft. Here some very important people are buried, with their caskets/coffins available for you to view during set hours with a custodian present to tell you the histories....

 While I was living in Ansbach, I found the city to be rich in history, however, not so rich in nightlife, which probably explains why all of the students that I met at the Fachhochschule either went...
