The central market square, Marktplatz, is a focal point, often hosting local events, and the impressive Lochow Cathedral is just a short stroll away. It's a very walkable area, making it easy to explore on foot.Couples often find the Altstadt particularly appealing.

Evening strolls along the river, which borders one side of the Altstadt, are also very pleasant.For families, staying slightly outside the immediate Altstadt, perhaps towards the Schlossgarten district, offers a good balance. This area is still very close to the main attractions but provides more open green spaces, like the Schlossgarten park, which is superb for children to play in.
