Germany – Aschaffenburg – old town

Aschaffenburg not only has a castle well worth visiting, but also has a very beautiful old part of town that allows for strolling around through the cobble streets, sitting down for a coffee or simply appreciating the work that has been put into restoring the beauty of the old architecture which suffered extensive destruction during WWII.

You will find the impressive St. Peter and Alexander Abbey Basilica, built in the 10th century. Right next to it the restored Löwenapotheke (pharmacy) which dates back to the 16th century and is one of the many half-timbered houses that are scattered throughout the old town.
