Speyer
67346 Speyer, Germany“Founded by the Romans, Speyer is one of Germany's oldest ancient cities”
In the Palatinate (Pfalz), an area famous for wine, sweet figs and almonds, you'll find one of Germany's oldest cities, founded in pre-Celtic times and expanded by Romans. Today, Speyer is a beautiful town on the German wine route. Visitors need to combine local trains and the Intercity-Express (one-time change) to get to Speyer from Frankfurt, but once there, it's easy to walk and a place to spend the day to relax. The main pedestrian shopping street is Maximilianstraße, with shops and cafes stretching either side from the city's west gate. The 13th-century Altpörtel is one of the central cathedrals. Take a stroll along the Rhine or through the iconic little neighborhood called “Hesenpfuhl” (“rabbit puddle”); visit the ruins of Speyer synagogue – the oldest remaining Jewish place of worship in Europe; or enjoy a drink in the beer garden, or a meal at one of the many traditional restaurants in town.
