Hildesheim, Germany: About 30 kilometres from Hannover, Hildesheim is probably best known for its medieval cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A legendary 1,000-year-old rosebush still climbs along the wall of the apse. The Cathedral Museum displays a vast collection of medieval treasures. Meticulously reconstructed buildings, including the half-timbered Butchers’ Guild Hall, line the city’s Market Square.
