Medieval towers rise powerfully on a rocky plateau at the foot of which the Spree meanders. Bautzen, with one of the most characterful German townscapes, lies between the Oberlausitzer Bergland and a partly UNESCO-protected heath and pond landscape. Not only the historic old town with over 1,000 monuments is worth a visit. Romantic walks along the old city wall offer tranquil views. The tourist city map as a reliable companion shows you the way with a list of streets and sights, an enlargement of the city center and a map of the surrounding area.
