Discover Cottbus with New Eyes: The Old Town Tour to Favorite Spots
This guided old town tour invites you to an experience of discovery through the historical heart of Cottbus. Accompanied by city guides, it takes you to the places that continue to shape the cityscape today: Old Market, City Wall, Amtsteich, Art Museum, and Tannery Houses form the stations of a city tour that makes history, architecture, and local atmosphere tangible.
Between Old Market and City Wall
The tour begins where Cottbus shows itself from its liveliest side: at the Old Market as the urban center of the old town. From here, the view opens up to evolved structures, traces of the city's history, and those details that often remain hidden in everyday life. The proximity to the city wall and to the historical urban spaces creates an authentic image of the cultural heritage of the Lusatian metropolis.
Stories at Amtsteich and the Tannery Houses
The places where nature, craftsmanship, and urban development intertwine are particularly appealing. The Amtsteich and the Tannery Houses tell of economic traditions, of water sites, and of the old trade zones of the city. Those who walk attentively through the old town experience Cottbus not only as a destination for sightseeing but as a city with finely woven historical layers.
Art, Urban Space, and Local Identity
The art museum is also among the favorite spots that make this tour so varied. Here, urban culture merges with modern perceptions of public space. The tour shows how landmarks, architecture, and contemporary culture complement each other in Cottbus and shape a rounded cityscape. This is precisely where the special charm of a guided city walk lies: compact, informative, and close to real life on-site.
