Best-kept secret: Quedlinburg

Explore this picture-perfect German town before it becomes part of the tourist trail.

It’s a small town with a big name, a medieval gem that hasn’t yet made it onto the tourist trail. Need more reasons to visit Quedlinburg? Here’s a fistful of reasons.

1.      It has something no other German town does

Germany has no shortage of pretty towns – but most of them have been rebuilt many times over the century, especially after the widespread devastation of World War Two. Quedlinburg is unique in that it has been intact since the Middle Ages, thanks to an impressive system of night watchmen and firefighters.

2.      You can explore it on foot

With 80 hectares of World Heritage listed streetscapes lined with cobblestones, half-timbered houses and ornate baroque mansions in soft shades of pink and green, the town is small enough to cover in a day, but rich in discoveries.
