Goslar, the city in which emperors once felt at home in days gone by is a fascinating tourist destination in this day and age. The town in fact looks little different today, characterised by its colourful timber- frame buildings, narrow little cobbled streets and interesting architecture from all ages. UNESCO has paid tribute to the unique beauty of Goslar‘s old town, to the Rammelsbeg ore mine as a 1000-year- old industrial monument and to the so-called Upper Harz Water Management System as a natural energy supply system by jointly awarding them the status of a World Cultural Heritage site.

The same procedure every year: As soon as the weather becomes warmer, Hameln‘s children dress up as rats, while the women slip into old-fashioned robes of linen and the men into tights. At the openair performance of the Pied Piper‘s legend they all have great fun acting out the plague of rats and the disappearance of the children from the town – to resounding applause each time. Alternatively, every Wednesday at half-past four visitors to Hameln can also enjoy a humorous interpretation of the story in the form of the musical RATS.

What‘s special about Lüneburg? Quite simple, really: It‘s the charming contrast of the pulsating young ambience and the mediaeval face of a more than 1000 year old Han- seatic city. Visitors are fascinated by the brick buildings decorated with elaborate gables and one of the largest and most beautiful medieval city halls in northern Germany. But Lüneburg is just as lively in the modern age: trendy shops, a multitude of cozy pubs and a dynamic student scene are elements of the young face the city so rich in tradition shows today.
