The oldest part is Bergstadt, that is built on 7 hills, where each of them offers a dominant landmark. The largest and most important is the imperial dome of St. Peter and George dating back to 1002. Right next to it, you can find the chateau Neue Residenz, with its state library and a romantic rose park. A little higher on the next hill is the Convent of St. Michaela, admirable not only from the outside, but also from the inside, where you can find rich murals. The large adjacent park than offers a terrace that is overlooking the city and the river. You can walk along the river channels undisturbed or stop by one of the cafés on Am Kranen Street and soak up the great atmosphere of a place that the locals call often call Little Venice. Not far from here you will find Grüner Market with its many shops leading to the city centre, where you will find Maximilian Square. Beer lovers can look forward to taste more than 400 varieties of beers from 9 local breweries! The biggest speciality is the local Rauchbier, so-called "smoked" beer.
