Amazing city with a special charm.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

A short walk along Eigelstein street to the Eigelstein-Torburg gate, once you pass under the railway line is a pleasant surprise. The architecture, atmosphere and civilised restaurant prices compared to central station or shopping mall direction.
