Je zal er allicht voorbij moeten, want daar is het toeristenbureau, met stadsplannetjes en aanraders. De Hauptstrasse begint er, en vlakbij is de Korenmarkt, waar je de kabelbaan naar het kasteel kan ... more »

You will probably have to pass, because there is the tourist office, with city map neat and recommended. The Hauptstrasse begins there, and nearby is the corn market, where you can take the cable car to the Castle. It is, as everywhere, the real Center of city life.

Great square to drink a beer and hang out as a family. Be aware of the bees! The kids enjoyed walking around the stores with us. Great for a stroller and not too hot but very humid in August. more »

Believe me or not, there are not enough shops on the main square to buy things to bring home, as an occasional tourist here. The good: I really enjoyed walking on the two streets parallel to the Hauptstraße, also. There one can find peace away from the crowds, and see many older well-maintained buildings.
