  • THE BEST VIEWS OF BRAUNSCHWEIG

    Get a bird's eye view of the city. Climb the 153 steps to the Quadriga on top of the Residenzschloss. Or the 161 steps up the Rathaus tower. Or the 389 steps of the Südturm von St. Andreas. Braunschweig at night: take a tour of the Magniviertel quarter. Braunschweig by boat: A trip on the river Oker is a great way to see the city.

  • BRAUNSCHWEIG'S FAVOURITE QUARTER

    With its shops, cafés and narrow streets of pretty half-timbered houses, the Magniviertel quarter is a popular haunt for visitors and residents alike. Tip: don't miss the Altstadt festival in late summer. The Michaelisviertel and the Aegidienviertel quarters are also worth a visit.

  • GOING OUT IN BRAUNSCHWEIG
