Amble around Aurich’s pedestrianised old town, admiring pretty brick buildings, sipping a coffee at one of the marketplace’s small cafés, or filling your bags with fresh produce from the farmers’ market. Held three times a week, the market attracts top makers and growers from across the region. You’ll also find a cinema and live music venue near the town centre, perfect for catching a gig or theatre performance. For an insight into local history, visit the Stiftsmühle Aurich.

Beyond the town limits, you can expect winding cycling, horse riding and walking trails. East Frisia is famously pretty, with little red-roofed villages fringed by verdant fields and lining picturesque waterways. Hone your fishing skills, cruise along tranquil rivers, or head to the coast on a day trip to the stunning East Frisian Islands. Lovely and laid-back, the best place to stay in Aurich reflects the town itself — a wonderful choice for a weekend away.
