For visitors seeking convenience and a truly Wernigerode experience, the best area to stay is within or very close to the historic Old Town.This central area is the heart of Wernigerode, characterised by its well-preserved half-timbered houses, cobblestone streets, and the iconic Town Hall in the market square (Marktplatz). It's very walkable, with many shops, restaurants, and cafes located around Breite Straße and Westernstraße. The Wernigerode Castle, perched above the town, is easily visible from most parts of the Old Town and accessible via a pleasant walk or the tourist railway.Couples will find the Old Town particularly appealing for a romantic getaway. Many hotels here are housed in historic buildings, offering a charming base from which to explore the local craft shops, enjoy traditional German cuisine, and take leisurely strolls to attractions like the Krummelsches Haus or the 'Smallest House' (Kleinstes Haus).Families will also appreciate the Old Town's central location. Being close to the market square means easy access to eateries and the starting point for the Harz narrow-gauge railway, which offers exciting trips up to Brocken mountain.
