About Fulda
Perched on the banks of the River Fulda, the striking city of Fulda is famed for its imposing baroque architecture. A favourite amongst arts and culture aficionados, this is a wonderful destination for a romantic weekend break, or a history-focused trip with friends and family. The city is studded with lovely accommodation options, one of which has been highlighted by our Gurus as the best place to stay in Fulda for its style, location and amenities.
Founded in 774, Fulda was originally centred around a Benedictine monastery, and continues to have a strong religious identity. Stroll around the old town on foot to admire towering Fulda Cathedral, which houses the tomb of St Boniface, as well as the neighbouring Dommuseum, showcasing centuries of religious art. The Vonderau Museum also has an impressive collection of art, along with exhibits delving into local and natural history. Don’t miss the pre-romanesque St Micheal’s Church, nor the lavish Stadtschloss Palace, with its lush landscaped gardens.
If you’re keen to deepen your understanding of Fulda and its significance within the history of Hesse, consider a guided walking or cycling tour. This is also a lively university city, so you can expect an ever-changing array of exhibitions and live music events, as well as a great evening scene. Savour craft cocktails, cold beers and regional dishes after days of art and culture, rural walks or bicycle rides.
