Attractions in and around Goslar
Goslar: UNESCO-Altstadt und Unterkünfte am Fuß des Harzes
Goslar unites two worlds: the thousand-year-old imperial city with its UNESCO-listed half-timbered old town, and the wild Upper Harz beginning just beyond the former gates. For overnight guests that means medieval atmosphere in the evening and hiking boots in the morning.
The lodgings mirror this dual character. In the old town, houses like the Hotel Haus Bismarck and the Tanne invite you to linger between market square and imperial palace; modern concepts like the Harzlodge appeal to active travellers. Self-caterers find central holiday flats such as the Fewo Residenz on Rosenstraße, and in the climatic spa district of Hahnenklee apartments wait right by the Bocksberg lifts.
The Rammelsberg mine – a World Heritage Site together with the old town – tells a thousand years of mining history, while the Brocken, the Oker Dam and the Hexentanzplatz make quick day trips. Those who ask a Goslar host directly book commission-free and get the best advice on which trail is already snow-free and which half-timbered café deserves a visit.
