Brunswick

Go on a driving holiday in Germany and visit Braunschweig, the city of Henry the Lion, which is the largest city in southeast Lower Saxony and also the cultural and economic centre of the region. Must-see sights in the city include Burgplatz with the castle lion, St Blasii Cathedral and the Gothic town hall in the old town. Burgplatz was rebuilt and extended by Duke Henry the Lion in the 12th century. The square is surrounded by Dankwarderode Castle - Henrik Löve's former residence - the cathedral, the classical Vieweghaus and several half-timbered buildings. In the middle of this traditional square stands the town's landmark: a bronze statue of a lion, which the Duke had erected as a symbol of his power and jurisdiction. Find a cheap weekend break for the whole family and explore Braunschweig and the surrounding area with Risskov.

Happy RIZZI House

Also worth a visit is the colourful Happy RIZZI House. Located on the edge of the historic Magni district, Happy RIZZI House was designed and created by New York artist James Rizzi. The colourful towers took two years to complete. The three-dimensional buildings house offices today. The Magni district is also home to many fine buildings and quaint alleyways, and is an ideal place to visit when you're on a driving holiday in the area.

Braunschweig is one of the many German cities that have become popular to visit in the run-up to Christmas. The beautiful city is transformed into a wonderful Christmas mecca of twinkling lights, decorations and lovely smells from the very first day when the Christmas market kicks off.

Every year, the squares around the city's beautiful cathedral, Braunschweiger Dom, are transformed into a charming Christmas market with elegant light decorations and a wonderful atmosphere. With the surrounding historic buildings as a backdrop, more than 150 stalls open up with crafts, Christmas decorations, toys, clothing and much more. The culinary delicacies, both regional and international, are always popular with visitors from near and far. With its more than 500-year tradition, the Christmas market in Braunschweig is among the most attractive and atmospheric in Germany, attracting thousands of people every year. The Christmas market often coincides with the city's annual Culture Week. Culture Week includes a large programme packed with events, entertainment and happenings. Choir, theatre, music and culture, storytelling, puppet theatre and Christmas workshop are just some of the offerings you can enjoy this week.

A great experience awaits at the city's historic moat, where a sophisticated lighting system magically indicates where the Oker River had its original course. This in the form of colourful glass, which in combination with calm musical tones, is incredibly beautiful to experience. Around the historic moat are several stalls where you can find everything from handicrafts to Glühwein.

You should also definitely take a walk up to the 61-metre high Town Hall Tower, from where you have an absolutely stunning view of the beautiful city and the entire market area below.
