Get your bearings
Start your city tour from the market square and look around at the beautiful well preserved buildings. Esslingen has some of the oldest half-timbered houses in Germany. While you explore the city centre you might find more than 200 of them, showing off the amazing craftsmanship of the older Alemannic house building. Its romantic character is something to be impressed with for sure.
Don’t miss
Don’t miss the chance to explore the charming, mediaeval city centre with its red old town hall and plan ahead a visit to the old fortress and its ancient walls, which you can reach by foot or by bus. From there, walk along the ramparts and enjoy the view of the city, and don’t forget to visit the castle garden, which also includes its own vineyard!
While you’re there
Did you know? The city of Esslingen is literally nestled around vineyards, and it is home to Kessler Sekt, Germany’s oldest sparkling wine. Founded back in 1826, this sekt is the German answer to champagne. While you can have a sample of it right at the fortress, we recommend a visit to the Kessler Sekt cellars, beautifully housed in one historic timbered building in the centre of Esslingen. There not only you can try samples but also cocktails made with this sparkling wine.
