Anyone visiting the cathedral and imperial city of Speyer can expect a historical atmosphere and a modern lifestyle at the same time. Whether young or old, art or technology fan, active nature lover or peace seeker, gourmet or wine lover – Speyer has the right highlight for a wide variety of needs.
Two UNESCO World Heritage sites await you in the city centre. In addition to the Romanesque Imperial and St. Mary's Cathedral in Speyer, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981, the second UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Judenhof, is now an absolute must for anyone interested in Jewish history. Speyer is home to numerous other highlights that are worth exploring.
In addition to the old city gate Altpörtel, which promises an excellent view over the city center, the Trinity Church and the Memorial Church, other sights can be easily reached on foot as part of a guided or individual city tour.
Lush green fields, picturesque meadows and mystical alluvial forests, which are present in large numbers due to the location in the middle of the mild Upper Rhine Valley, make the city a predestined destination for nature lovers and cyclists. If you stroll along Maximilianstrasse in glorious weather with its numerous pink flowering oleander bushes, the thought of a Mediterranean via in the south of Europe is not far off. Various restaurants with regional and international cuisine, rustic wine bars and stylish ice cream parlors invite you to enjoy and linger as meeting points of the Palatinate Dolce Vita.
