What can I say?

I never realized that Speyer was so close by and that this place had such a fascinating cathedral,
which was awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981!!!

On a daytrip we went there and not only enjoyed the cathedral,
but also the rest of this really beautiful little town!

So, if you ever have a chance to go there - it definitely is worthwhile!

Awesome cathedral and nice town Favorites (1)

The main attraction of Speyer was and will always be the cathedral. Do take your time to visit this Romanesque building... more travel advice

Maximilianstraße Things to Do (4)

Maximilianstraße is the main street that leads from the cathedral to the Altpörtl tower. It is a pedestrian area now... more travel advice

das Stadthaus Things to Do (4)

Das Stadthaus is right opposite of the cathedral. It was the first picture that my husband took - not really interested... more travel advice

the Domschatz Things to Do (4)

Don't miss the Historical Museum of the Palatinate! It shows the treasures of the cathedral with beautiful Romanesque... more travel advice

Fabulous little page about this well known German gem. I came across Speyer on my train trip to the famous VT Gluehwein meeting in Karlsruhe and I must admit that I didn't know that Speyer is located so close to Karlsruhe.

The cathedral looks well worth a visit!

Hi Tini, my grandma lived in Speyer and I spent some time during my childhood there. At that time instead of the cathedral I was more interested in the Rhine and the ships however.

Nice pictures of an off-the-beaten path gem. As tessy and you state, Speyer is worth a visit - epescially in Spargelzeit!!
