The best area to stay in Himmelsberg is the Altstadt (Old Town) for its historic character and central location.The Altstadt is the heart of Himmelsberg, characterised by its cobblestone streets, half-timbered houses, and the historic Marktplatz (Market Square).

The Himmelsberg Castle overlooks the Altstadt, adding to its picturesque setting.Couples often find the Altstadt ideal for a romantic getaway.

Here, you'll find hotels with views of the river and the castle, often with a more modern feel but still within a short walk of the Altstadt's amenities.
