City, Rural District, Hildesheim

In Hildesheim, the ancient and modern make common cause. On the one hand, this venerable bishop's city, with its half-timbered houses and historical buildings from the Middle Ages – including the two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the cathedral with its world-famous 1000-year-old rose tree and St. Michael's - fills visitors with enthusiasm. And on the other hand, the "Metropearl" between the Harz Mountains and Hanover offers everything which characterises diverse and exciting big-city life.

Hildesheim inspires both short- and long-term visitors equally. Here, there are new, old and other things to discover every day, culture and history to experience, sport and relaxation to enjoy and shops and street cafés to pass the time.
