Tips from the Community

Bettina
March 27, 2026, Old Town of Schwäbisch Hall

is considered one of the most beautiful historic old towns in Southern Germany and, together with the partially preserved city wall, the numerous towers, the covered wooden bridges, a variety of stairs and "Stäffele" as well as almost unchanged medieval alleys, forms an impressive cityscape. The market square, framed by magnificent half-timbered, Renaissance and Baroque buildings, is an architectural gem. Opposite the town hall, built in the style of a baroque noble palace, rises the Romanesque-Gothic St. Michael's Church with its mighty external staircase - simply magnificent and stunning.
