The numerous winding streets of the old-fashioned upper town allow you to discover something new again and again. If you really want to explore everything, you should plan several days.

In total, we find more than 700 historic houses in Marburg's old town (also called Upper Town), most of which were built between the 14th century and 1866, the time of the annexation of Hesse by Prussia.

In the small streets of Marburg's upper town there is always something new to discover in every season. Here you will find many beautiful half-timbered houses, small shops where you can do some good shopping and many restaurants and cafes where you can eat and relax.
