Wolfenbüttel self-guided walking tour

Wolfenbüttel: Intellectual Giants and Faked Facades

Discover Wolfenbüttel on a humorous tour that blends grand ducal history with the charming reality of North German half-timbered architecture. From the literary legacy of Lessing to the architectural 'cheats' of the palace, experience a city that is much more than just the home of a famous herbal liqueur. This walk takes you through picturesque alleys and world-famous libraries, seasoned with dry wit about everyday life at court.
