What it is
Quedlinburg is a World Heritage Site for its old town: some 2,000 half-timbered houses spanning eight centuries, cobbled streets, little squares and crooked alleys, almost intact. In the centre, the Market Square with the Renaissance town hall; above it, the castle hill with the collegiate church; opposite, the Münzenberg hill, with little houses huddled together where musicians and craftspeople lived.
How it works
On your own, in about two hours: Market Square, Breite Straße, Finkenherd at the foot of the castle, the climb up the hill and back through the Neustadt. Start at the tourist office, on the square (Markt 4).
