2025 Goslar Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

Goslar, located at the northern foot of the Harz Mountains in Lower Saxony, Germany, was built in 922 to protect the Rammelsberg Mine and became a favorite residence of the early Holy Roman Emperors. This medieval old town, listed as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site, feels like stepping into a time warp—cobblestone streets, colorful half-timbered houses, and the majestic Imperial Palace, each corner looks like it’s been plucked from a fairy tale! Here, even the air carries the romance of a thousand years of history. The exciting exploration of Goslar begins with Metz helping you start fresh! What must-see spots are there? Let’s take a look! Imperial Palace (Kaiserpfalz Goslar): Witness to a Millennium of Royal Power Built in the 10th century, it was once the palace of German emperors, with over 140 emperors having left their mark here. Carillon and Puppet Show The carillon and puppets were donated by Preussag in 1968 to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of mining at the Rammelsberg Mine. Additionally, a morning song is played at 8:30 AM, and an evening song at 6:30 PM. Colorful Half-Timbered Fairy Tale World Goslar’s old town is known as a “museum of half-timbered architecture,” with over 2,000 colorful half-timbered houses beautifully scattered along the streets and alleys. The Wealth Code of the Mine The mine and old town are jointly listed as a World Heritage site, making it a must-visit for history and technology enthusiasts. Witch Culture: A Fantastic Feast of Screams and Laughter Every April 30th, on “Witches’ Night,” the entire town transforms into a magical stage: residents dress as witches, unicorns, and werewolves and parade to the Brocken Mountain. At midnight, fireworks light up the sky as the “witches” fly away on their brooms, and the May Queen makes her appearance.

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Mentioning the name Paulaner is probably familiar to beer lovers. Especially when you come to Germany, in addition to having a brewery, there is also a restaurant where you can eat authentic German food with draft beer from Paulaner and other brands. This restaurant is located in the city of Goslar. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very warm. It is a large wooden house with rustic furniture. The food we ordered for this meal included German pork knuckle, Kohler Schnitzel, chicken salad, and roast pork with sauce. The taste of the food is rustic like the atmosphere of the restaurant. It may not have fancy details, but it is cooked in a classic and original style. But everything is delicious, especially the German pork knuckle with perfectly crispy skin and not too salty. This restaurant is considered one of the best in making this menu. In terms of quantity, they give a lot of it. If anyone comes to visit this city, I recommend it. 📌 Address: Gemeindehof 3 - 6, 38640 Goslar, Germany

#April Travel Support Fund I had the opportunity to visit an old wooden house using a friend's chance. The interior was modern and well-renovated, which was amazing. Of course, the ceiling was a little low, but it didn't seem uncomfortable to live in. One bad thing was that the windows opened outward, so they said it was hard to clean. Be sure to go to the tourist center in Goslar and listen to the city tour guide. #germanytravel

#AprilTravelSupportHaus Kabelitz and Ackerbürgerhaus Beck are next to each other. The exterior of each building was built in 1592 and 1606, so it felt different. What was particularly noticeable was that it said who renovated it in which year, so you can learn about the history of the building. I recommend visiting Goslar, which has a lot to see. 📍Bäckerstraße 2, 38640 Goslar

#AprilTravelSupport The Goslar Cathedral, built in the 12th century during the Middle Ages, has almost completely collapsed, and only the entrance remains. I was able to imagine the grandeur of the cathedral at that time with the explanation.

Goslar had four gates during the medieval period, similar to the four gates of Seoul. The Achstermann Hotel is built with the remaining city walls intact, allowing you to see the deep history with your own eyes. Besides that, there are many other attractions in this 1102-year-old city, making it a great place to create enjoyable memories with history. Highly recommended.

#AprilTravelSupportThe building at Goslar Station is also an old stone building, so it seems to be undergoing continuous renovation. One thing that was disappointing was that the ticket booth at the station was moved to a container building due to renovation, and its business hours were not long, so it was completely closed on weekends. Of course, it would be fine for young travelers because they can use the app, but it might be difficult for seniors… . #germanytravel
