Quedlinburg, a UNESCO World Heritage site, proffers a unique and fairy-tale-like showpiece. Medieval times come back to life in this once mighty metropolis of the Ottonian Empire. The Castle Hill towering above the city and the imposing Romanesque Collegiate Church together with the original old timberframe houses all bear witness to a unique past. With 1300 half-timbered buildings from six centuries, this city at the northern foothills of the Harz Mountains is the most extensive heritage site in Germany. This city tour guides you to the most important places of interest in the centre of Quedlinburg. On foot and in one day - with occasional stops in between to savour Quedlinburg's hospitality - more than one thousand years of city history are brought to you in an informative and entertaining way.
