About Speyer

Speyer, a historic city on the Rhine River, boasts over 2,000 years of history and is home to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Speyer Cathedral, the largest preserved Romanesque church in the world. The best places to stay in Speyer are concentrated in the charming old town, where heritage hotels and boutique guesthouses offer views of the cathedral's imposing spires and provide easy access to the city's main attractions.

The pedestrian-friendly old town centre is ideal for ambling from cafés and boutiques to excellent museums, including the Technik Museum Speyer and the Historical Museum of the Palatinate, which showcases the region's fascinating past through artifacts and interactive exhibits. Speyer is also studded with architectural gems - such as the Jewish Courtyard with its 12th-century ritual bath - and guided tours come highly recommended.

Venture further afield to discover the German Wine Route, lined with picturesque vineyards and wine villages. Nature lovers can venture into the nearby Palatinate Forest for hiking and cycling, while day trips to Heidelberg, with its romantic castle, or the spa town of Baden-Baden are lovely. During summer months, the Rhine promenade comes alive with festivals and outdoor cafés, while the Christmas market in winter transforms the old town into a magical holiday destination. The best places to stay in Speyer are within walking distance of these highlights, perfect for a memorable trip with family and friends.
