General presentation
Brunswick et Wolfenbüttel
Historical cities of Lower Saxony, between palaces, squares, librarians, half-timbered houses and museums.
Brunswick, Burgplatz Braunschweig and Herzog August Bibliothek give the most eloquent landmarks of Brunswick and Wolfenbüttel. Together, they form a destination where urban life and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than a single uniform setting.
See all

The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Brunswick
Brunswick assembles marketplaces, reconstructed half-timbered facades, Gothic bricks and more recent buildings around Burgplatz. The bronze lion, the cathedral and the castle give clear landmarks, while the nearby shopping streets show an active city rather than a simple historical setting.
Place
Herzog August Bibliothek
The Herzog August Bibliothek sees itself as a place where architecture, archives and memory join together. A useful visit is to alternate facades, halls and workspaces to understand the accuracy of the place without slatting on the surface.
Town or village
Wolfenbüttel
Wolfenbüttel It is read by a fairly clear urban geometry, with a discreet charm in its streets and uses. A walk without pressure gives access to hidden atmospheres, where the city reveals its true texture beyond the center.
