It takes about five minutes on foot from the station to the historical old town, which is surrounded by stone walls. There are five gates into the old town but it’s recommended to enter through the Reimlinger Tor as you can quickly access the top of the wall from there.

There's nothing I like more than Manga. After working as an organizer and interpreter at one of Europe's largest cultural events, I eventually became the chief editor of "ComicAddict."
