Hildesheim Germany

Last week we went to Hildesheim. Hildesheim is a very beautiful city in Lower Saxony in Germany. We stayed in Hotel van der Valk Hildesheim. which was situated at the very famous market square.

We had a beautiful, very big room. on the fifth floor, the attic I called it!

 

Our view from the attic on the historic market square:

They advise you to shop in Hannover, well I can tell you, you don't need to go to Hannover to shop, you can shop perfectly fine in Hildesheim! They have a lot of stores, a whole lot to be exact and nice streets to walk in, you don't need to go anywhere else. I love to buy Kneipp in Germany, because in the Netherlands a bottle costs 8 or 9 euros, here in Germany 2 or 3 euros and they have limited editions here we don't have.

We went sightseeing in Hildesheim, they have very old buildings and very beautiful churches! There is so much history here, you can just feel it by walking around here! In the Mariendom they have a rose-tree which is a thousand years old! We didn't see the rose, but we did see the church!

Nearby is also St. Michaels Church, also very beautiful.

If you would like something to eat, you would have to eat Jagerschnitzel mit pommes!! We eat this in Amadeus Cafe and Restaurant. If you see the restaurant you would probably walk by it, but just go in! The schnitzel is very good and very big and very cheap. We paid 10,90 euro for a big plate!!

And it had uns sehr gut geschmeckt!!

By the bar from the hotel, Stadtschenke, you can get the best cocktails in town!

After a very good night sleep in the hotel, it was time for breakfast! Breakfast is very good, very much and very tasty here! They make you freshly juiced orange juice, they make waffles freshly baked (stay away from the waffles, once you start you cannot stop eating them!). And they make you omelet with ingredients you can add like tomato, mushroom, cheese etc.

We enjoyed our stay here very much!

After checking out, we went to take a little drive to the Harz. That is not very far from Hildesheim and you have beautiful nature scenes here. I didn't want to go home, it was too beautiful!!

We loved every moment of our stay and one night is way to few to discover Hildesheim and its surroundings!! I thought it looked like a fairy tale already, but imagine Hildesheim in the snow, that would be a certainly a scene out of a fairytale book!

Edwins Facebook has more nice pictures of Hildesheim. Take a look there if you like!

Danke schon Hildesheim, wir kommen gerne wieder. Wir hatten viel Spass gehat. Hildesheim und the Harz sind sehr schon!!
