Garner Hotel Osnabrück Plaatselijke omgeving

Once the residence of powerful prince-bishops, today a vibrant part of city life: Osnabrück Castle is a must-see while you’re here. This grand Renaissance building now houses the University of Osnabrück, but its historical charm remains unmistakable. Stroll through the peaceful palace gardens, pause beneath baroque facades, and soak up the atmosphere of a place that helped shape the Peace of Westphalia. A walk that blends beauty, history, and a moment of calm.

Een hoogtepunt in Osnabrück is de Sint-Pietersbasiliek. De imposante kathedraal, gebouwd in romaanse stijl, fascineert bezoekers met zijn indrukwekkende kerkgebouw en sierlijke decoraties. De middeleeuwse muurschilderingen en het prachtige orgel zijn bijzonder de moeite waard. De kathedraal biedt niet alleen een historisch inzicht, maar ook een plek van rust en contemplatie in het midden van de stad.

Step back in time as you wander through Osnabrück’s charming Old Town. Cobbled streets, half-timbered houses, and cosy cafés create a picture-perfect setting full of history and character. Highlights include the impressive Town Hall, where the Peace of Westphalia was signed, and the medieval St. Peter’s Cathedral. It’s a place to explore at your own pace, soak up the atmosphere, and discover the city’s rich past around every corner.

Looking for a peaceful break from the city buzz? The Botanical Garden of the University of Osnabrück offers just that. Nestled between two former quarries, it features scenic paths by the lake, vibrant seasonal wildflower beds, and a tropical rainforest house with unique Amazonian plants. A hidden gem for nature lovers, perfect for a quiet wander or a moment to unwind.
