Old Market, City Wall, and Old Cottbus

The tour leads to the favorite places of the Cottbusians, including Old Market, City Wall, Amtsteich, Art Museum, and Tannery Houses. This creates a vivid picture of the city's cultural heritage: historical traces, spatial contrasts, and those small details that can easily be overlooked during a walk without a guide. The official Cottbus tourism website explicitly describes the old town tour as a way to “experience old Cottbus.” ([cottbus.de](https://cottbus.de/veranstaltungen/cottbuser-lieblingsplaetze-altstadtrundgang-sa-21/))
