What it is
For centuries Brandenburg was three separate towns: Dom island, with the cathedral; the Old Town, to the west, with its Gothic brick town hall and the five-metre statue of Roland in front of it; and the New Town, to the south, with the great church of St Catherine and Steinstraße, the pedestrian street. The arms of the Havel and their bridges both separate and join them.
How it works
On your own, in about two hours: start at the cathedral, cross to the New Town by the Mühlendamm, continue along Steinstraße to St Catherine's and cross the Millennium Bridge to the Old Town and its town hall. On the way you see the city from the water, with boats and fishermen's houses.
Tips
- Finish by the water The Nordstern boats leave near the Millennium Bridge.
